Psalms 78:5-11

⁵Yea, he established a testimony in Jacob, and instituted a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

⁶In order that the latest generation might know them, even the children that are to be born; that they may arise and relate them to their children;

⁷That they may place in God their hope, and not forget the doings of God, but observe his commandments;

⁸And that they may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that had not directed their heart firmly, and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

⁹The children of Ephraim, like well-armed archers, that turn round on the day of battle,

¹⁰Kept not the covenant of God, and in his law they refused to walk;

¹¹And they forgot his deeds, as also his wonders, which he had permitted them to see.
