49He let loose his hot anger among them, fury and wrath and distress, a band of destroying angels.
50He cleared a path for his anger, did not spare them from death, but gave them over to pestilence.
51He struck down all the first-born in Egypt, the first fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.
52He led forth his people like sheep, he was guide to his flock in the desert.
53Securely he led them, and free from fear, while their foes were drowned in the sea.
54To his holy realm he brought them, to the mountain his right hand had purchased.
55He drove out the nations before them, and allotted their land for possession, and their tents for Israel to live in.
56Yet they tempted and angered the Most High God, they did not observe his decrees.
57They drew back, false like their ancestors; they failed like a treacherous bow.
58Their shrines stirred him to anger, their idols moved him to jealousy.
59When God heard of this, he was furious, and he spurned Israel utterly.
60He abandoned his home in Shiloh, the tent he had pitched among people.
61He gave his strength up to captivity, his glory to the hands of the foe.
