5He set up a testimony in Jacob, a law he appointed in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to make known to their children,
6that the next generation should know it, that the children yet to be born should arise and tell their children;
7that in God they might put their confidence, and not forget God's works; but that they might keep his commandments,
8and not be like their ancestors, a generation defiant and stubborn, a generation with heart unsteady, and spirit unfaithful towards God.
9Ephraimites, armed bowmen, turned back in the day of battle.
10They did not keep God's covenant, they refused to walk in his law.
