Psalms 78:56-63

⁵⁶However, the Israeli people rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god, and they did many evil things to see if they could do those things without God punishing them, and they did not obey his commandments.

⁵⁷Instead, like their ancestors did, they rebelled against God and ◄were not loyal to/did not faithfully obey► him; they were as unreliable as a crooked arrow that does not go straight SIM.

⁵⁸Because they worshiped carved images of their gods on the tops of hills, they caused God to become angry DOU.

⁵⁹He saw what they were doing and became very angry, so he rejected the Israeli people.

⁶⁰He no longer appeared to them at Shiloh in the tent where he had lived among them.

⁶¹He allowed their enemies to capture the sacred chest, which was the symbol of his power and his glory.

⁶²Because he was angry with his people, he allowed them to be killed MTY by their enemies.

⁶³Young men were killed in battles, with the result that the young women had no one to marry.
