- 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.
|
- And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
- And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
- He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
- Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
- But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
|
- 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.
|
- For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
- When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
- So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
- And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
- He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth 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.
|
- The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
- Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
