Psalms 78:55-64

55He drove out nations before them. He apportioned their inheritance by lot and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

56But they rebelliously tested the Most High God, for they did not keep his decrees.

57They treacherously turned away like their ancestors; they became warped like a faulty bow.

58They enraged him with their high places and provoked his jealousy with their carved images.

59God heard and became furious; he completely rejected Israel.

60He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he resided among mankind.

61He gave up his strength to captivity and his splendor to the hand of a foe.

62He surrendered his people to the sword because he was enraged with his heritage.

63Fire consumed his chosen young men, and his young women had no wedding songs.

64His priests fell by the sword, and the widows could not lament.
