Psalms 78:55-64

55He also drove out the nations before them, Allotted them an inheritance by survey, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

56Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God, And did not keep His testimonies,

57But turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers; They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.

59When God heard this, He was furious, And greatly abhorred Israel,

60So that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,

61And delivered His strength into captivity, And His glory into the enemy’s hand.

62He also gave His people over to the sword, And was furious with His inheritance.

63The fire consumed their young men, And their maidens were not given in marriage.

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