Psalm 78:56–64

⁵⁶But they tested and disobeyed God Most High,

for they did not keep His decrees.

⁵⁷They turned back and were faithless like their fathers,

twisted like a faulty bow.

⁵⁸They enraged Him with their high places

and provoked His jealousy with their idols.

⁵⁹On hearing it, God was furious

and rejected Israel completely.

⁶⁰He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,

the tent He had pitched among men.

⁶¹He delivered His strength to captivity,

and His splendor to the hand of the adversary.

⁶²He surrendered His people to the sword

because He was enraged by His heritage.

⁶³Fire consumed His young men,

and their maidens were left without wedding songs.

⁶⁴His priests fell by the sword,

but their widows could not lament.
