Psalms 78:56-64

56But they kept testing and rebelling against God Most High. They did not obey his laws.

57They turned back and were as faithless as their parents. They were as undependable as a crooked bow.

58They angered God by building shrines to other gods; they made him jealous with their idols.

59When God heard them, he was very angry, and he completely rejected Israel.

60Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people.

61He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured; he surrendered his glory into enemy hands.

62He gave his people over to be butchered by the sword, because he was so angry with his own people—his special possession.

63Their young men were killed by fire; their young women died before singing their wedding songs.

64Their priests were slaughtered, and their widows could not mourn their deaths.
