Psalms 78:56-64

56Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God and did not keep his testimonies,

57but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers; they twisted like a deceitful bow.

58For they provoked him to anger with their high places; they moved him to jealousy with their idols.

59When God heard, he was full of wrath, and he utterly rejected Israel.

60He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among mankind,

61and delivered his power to captivity, his glory to the hand of the foe.

62He gave his people over to the sword and vented his wrath on his heritage.

63Fire devoured their young men, and their young women had no marriage song.

64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.
