Psalm 78:56-64

New International Version

⁵⁶ But they put God to the test
    and rebelled against the Most High;
    they did not keep his statutes.
⁵⁷ Like their ancestors^(A) they were disloyal and faithless,
    as unreliable as a faulty bow.^(B)
58 They angered him^(C) with their high places;^(D)
    they aroused his jealousy with their idols.^(E)
59 When God heard^(F) them, he was furious;^(G)
    he rejected Israel^(H) completely.
⁶⁰ He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,^(I)
    the tent he had set up among humans.^(J)
61 He sent the ark of his might^(K) into captivity,^(L)
    his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
⁶² He gave his people over to the sword;^(M)
    he was furious with his inheritance.^(N)
63 Fire consumed^(O) their young men,
    and their young women had no wedding songs;^(P)
64 their priests were put to the sword,^(Q)
    and their widows could not weep.
