53He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.
54And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;
55Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.
56But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;
57Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.
58They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.
