- He led them safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea engulfed their enemies.
- So He brought them to His holy land, To this hill country which His right hand had gained.
- He also drove out the nations before them And apportioned them for an inheritance by measurement, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
- Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God And did not keep His testimonies,
- But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers; They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

- He guided them safely, so they were unafraid; but the sea engulfed their enemies.
- Thus he brought them to the border of his holy land, to the hill country his right hand had taken.
- He drove out nations before them and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance; he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
- But they put God to the test and rebelled against the Most High; they did not keep his statutes.

- For they provoked Him with their high places And aroused His jealousy with their graven images.
- When God heard, He was filled with wrath And greatly abhorred Israel;
- So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh, The tent which He had pitched among men,
- And gave up His strength to captivity And His glory into the hand of the adversary.
- He also delivered His people to the sword, And was filled with wrath at His inheritance.
|
- They angered him with their high places; they aroused his jealousy with their idols.
- When God heard them, he was very angry; he rejected Israel completely.
- He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among men.
- He sent the ark of his might into captivity, his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
- He gave his people over to the sword; he was very angry with his inheritance.

- Fire devoured His young men, And His virgins had no wedding songs.
- His priests fell by the sword, And His widows could not weep.
|
- Fire consumed their young men, and their maidens had no wedding songs;
- their priests were put to the sword, and their widows could not weep.
