Psalms 78:55-64

55He drove the nations out from before them; he assigned them their tribal allotments and allowed the tribes of Israel to settle down.

56Yet they challenged and defied the sovereign God, and did not obey his commands.

57They were unfaithful and acted as treacherously as their ancestors; they were as unreliable as a malfunctioning bow.

58They made him angry with their pagan shrines, and made him jealous with their idols.

59God heard and was angry; he completely rejected Israel.

60He abandoned the sanctuary at Shiloh, the tent where he lived among men.

61He allowed the symbol of his strong presence to be captured; he gave the symbol of his splendor into the hand of the enemy.

62He delivered his people over to the sword, and was angry with his chosen nation.

63Fire consumed their young men, and their virgins remained unmarried.

64Their priests fell by the sword, but their widows did not weep.
