7 Then they would put their trust in God

and would not forget his deeds

but would keep his commands.

8 They would not be like their ancestors—

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

whose hearts were not loyal to God,

whose spirits were not faithful to him.

9 The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,

turned back on the day of battle;

7 so that they should set their hope in God

and not forget the works of God,

but keep his commandments;

8 and that they should not be like their fathers,

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation whose heart was not steadfast,

whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The Ephraimites, armed with the bow,

turned back on the day of battle.

7 That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments: 8 And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation; A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God. 9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.

7 So each generation should set its hope anew on God,

not forgetting his glorious miracles

and obeying his commands.

8 Then they will not be like their ancestors—

stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful,

refusing to give their hearts to God.

9 The warriors of Ephraim, though armed with bows,

turned their backs and fled on the day of battle.

7 That they may set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments;

8 And may not be like their fathers,

A stubborn and rebellious generation,

A generation that did not set its heart aright,

And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,

Turned back in the day of battle.

7 So they would all trust God

and would not forget what he had done

but would obey his commands.

8 They would not be like their ancestors

who were stubborn and disobedient.

Their hearts were not loyal to God,

and they were not true to him.

9 The men of Ephraim had bows for weapons,

but they ran away on the day of battle.

7 That they might set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep his commandments,

8 And might not be as their fathers,

A stubborn and rebellious generation,

A generation that set not their heart aright,

And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,

Turned back in the day of battle.

7 And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of •God, but observe his commandments; 8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with •God.

9 The sons of Ephraim, armed bowmen, turned back in the day of battle.

7 to trust God, to remember what he has done, 

and to obey his commands. 

8 Then they will not be like their ancestors, 

a stubborn and rebellious generation. 

Their hearts were not loyal. 

Their spirits were not faithful to God. 

9 The men of Ephraim, well-equipped with bows ⸤and arrows⸥, 

turned ⸤and ran⸥ on the day of battle. 

7 so that they might put their confidence in God

and not forget God’s works,

but keep His commands.

8 Then they would not be like their fathers,

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation whose heart was not loyal

and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The Ephraimite archers turned back

on the day of battle.

7 so that they should set their hope in God,

and not forget the works of God,

but keep his commandments;

8 and that they should not be like their ancestors,

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation whose heart was not steadfast,

whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The Ephraimites, armed with the bow,

turned back on the day of battle.

7 that they might set their confidence in God,

and not forget the deeds of God,

but keep his commandments,

8 and not be like their ancestors,

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation that did not make ready its heart,

whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The sons of Ephraim, armed with archers,

turned back on the day of battle.

7 Then they would put their trust in God.

They would not forget what he had done.

They would obey his commands.

8 They would not be like their people who lived before them.

Those people were stubborn. They refused to obey God.

Their hearts were not true to him.

Their spirits were not faithful to him.

9 The soldiers of Ephraim were armed with bows.

But they ran away on the day of battle.

7 That they should put their confidence in God

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments,

8 And not be like their fathers,

A stubborn and rebellious generation,

A generation that did not prepare its heart

And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows,

Yet they turned back in the day of battle.
