Psalms 78:54-64

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.

⁶²He gave his people to the sword, he was furious with his own.

⁶³Fire devoured their young men, and their maidens had no marriage-song.

⁶⁴Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows could not weep.
