55And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56But they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not his testimonies,
57And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.
58And they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
