Psalms 78:56-64

56Yet they 1 2tempted and 3rebelled against the Most High God And did not keep His testimonies,57But turned back and 4acted treacherously like their fathers; They 5turned aside like a treacherous bow.58For they 6provoked Him with their 7high places And 8aroused His jealousy with their 9graven images.59When God heard, He 10was filled with 11wrath And greatly 12abhorred Israel;60So that He 13abandoned the 14dwelling place at Shiloh, The tent 15which He had pitched among men,61And gave up His 16strength to captivity And His glory 17into the hand of the adversary.62He also 18delivered His people to the sword, And 19was filled with wrath at His inheritance.63 20Fire devoured 21His young men, And 22His 23virgins had no wedding songs.64 24His 25priests fell by the sword, And 26His 27widows could not weep.
