SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:31
Así perezcan todos tus enemigos, oh SEÑOR; mas los que te aman, sean como el sol cuando nace en su fuerza. Y la tierra reposó cuarenta años.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord ! etc.] As Sisera and his army did, and be disappointed as his mother and her ladies were; which is not only a wish or prayer that it might be, but a prophecy that so it would be: but let them that love him ; that love the Lord superlatively and sincerely, with all their heart and soul, and from love serve and fear him: [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might ; in the middle of the day, when its heat and light are the greatest, and in the summer solstice, in the month of June, when the sun is in Cancer, as Ben Gersom and Abarbinel observe, and it is hottest: the sense is, let the true friends of God be as bright and as glorious, and increase in light, lustre, and splendour, as that glorious luminary in midday, and be no more liable to be resisted and stopped by their enemies, and as much out of the reach of them as that is: and the land had rest forty years ; these are not the words of Deborah, whose song ends with the last clause, but of the writer of this book; which years, according to most, are to be reckoned from the death of Ehud, including the twenty years’ bondage under Jabin, as Ben Gersom and Abarbinel; so that strictly speaking the rest was but twenty years; one would think they should be reckoned from the victory obtained over Jabin king of Canaan.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-31 - Jael had a special blessing. Those whose lot is cast in the tent, in low and narrow sphere, if they serve God according to the powers he ha given them, shall not lose their reward. The mother of Sisera looke for his return, not in the least fearing his success. Let us take hee of indulging eager desires towards any temporal good, particularl toward that which cherishes vain-glory, for that was what she her doted on. What a picture does she present of an ungodly and sensua heart! How shameful and childish these wishes of an aged mother and he attendants for her son! And thus does God often bring ruin on his enemies when they are most puffed up. Deborah concludes with a praye to God for the destruction of all his foes, and for the comfort of all his friends. Such shall be the honour, and joy of all who love God in sincerity, they shall shine for ever as the sun in the firmament __________________________________________________________________
