Why abode you among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Issachar is a strong donkey crouching down between two burdens:
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Though you have slept among the sheepfolds, yet shall you be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.
And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall you sit here?
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
