56 But they put God to the test

and rebelled against the Most High;

they did not keep his statutes.

57 Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless,

as unreliable as a faulty bow.

58 They angered him with their high places;

they aroused his jealousy with their idols.

59 When God heard them, he was furious;

he rejected Israel completely.

60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,

the tent he had set up among humans.

61 He sent the ark of his might into captivity,

his splendor into the hands of the enemy.

56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God,

And kept not his testimonies:

57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:

They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,

And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

59 When God heard this, he was wroth,

And greatly abhorred Israel:

60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,

The tent which he placed among men;

61 And delivered his strength into captivity,

And his glory into the enemy’s hand.

56 But they kept testing and rebelling against God Most High.

They did not obey his laws.

57 They turned back and were as faithless as their parents.

They were as undependable as a crooked bow.

58 They angered God by building shrines to other gods;

they made him jealous with their idols.

59 When God heard them, he was very angry,

and he completely rejected Israel.

60 Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh,

the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people.

61 He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured;

he surrendered his glory into enemy hands.

56 Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God,

And did not keep His testimonies,

57 But turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;

They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58 For they provoked Him to anger with their high places,

And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.

59 When God heard this, He was furious,

And greatly abhorred Israel,

60 So that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,

The tent He had placed among men,

61 And delivered His strength into captivity,

And His glory into the enemy’s hand.

56 But they tested God

and turned against God Most High;

they did not keep his rules.

57 They turned away and were disloyal just like their ancestors.

They were like a crooked bow that does not shoot straight.

58 They made God angry by building places to worship gods;

they made him jealous with their idols.

59 When God heard them, he became very angry

and rejected the people of Israel completely.

60 He left his dwelling at Shiloh,

the Tent where he lived among the people.

61 He let the Ark, his power, be captured;

he let the Ark, his glory, be taken by enemies.

56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God,

And kept not his testimonies;

57 But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers:

They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,

And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

59 When God heard this, he was wroth,

And greatly abhorred Israel;

60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,

The tent which he placed among men;

61 And delivered his strength into captivity,

And his glory into the adversary’s hand.

56 But they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not his testimonies, 57 And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow. 58 And they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 59 God heard, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 60 And he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he had dwelt among men, 61 And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;

56 They tested God Most High and rebelled against him. 

They did not obey his written instructions. 

57 They were disloyal and treacherous like their ancestors. 

They were like arrows shot from a defective bow. 

58 They made him angry because of their illegal worship sites. 

They made him furious because they worshiped idols. 

59 When God heard, he became furious. 

He completely rejected Israel. 

60 He abandoned his dwelling place in Shiloh, 

the tent where he had lived among humans. 

61 He allowed his power to be taken captive 

and handed his glory over to an oppressor. 

56 But they rebelliously tested the Most High God,

for they did not keep His decrees.

57 They treacherously turned away like their fathers;

they became warped like a faulty bow.

58 They enraged Him with their high places

and provoked His jealousy with their carved images.

59 God heard and became furious;

He completely rejected Israel.

60 He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,

the tent where He resided among men.

61 He gave up His strength to captivity

and His splendor to the hand of a foe.

56 Yet they tested the Most High God,

and rebelled against him.

They did not observe his decrees,

57 but turned away and were faithless like their ancestors;

they twisted like a treacherous bow.

58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places;

they moved him to jealousy with their idols.

59 When God heard, he was full of wrath,

and he utterly rejected Israel.

60 He abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh,

the tent where he dwelt among mortals,

61 and delivered his power to captivity,

his glory to the hand of the foe.

56 But they tested and rebelled against God Most High

and did not keep his statutes.

57 And they turned and were treacherous like their ancestors.

They twisted like a crooked bow.

58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,

and made him jealous with their images.

59 God heard and he was very angry

and rejected Israel utterly.

60 So he abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh,

the tent he had placed among humankind.

61 And he gave his strength into captivity

and his splendor into the hand of the enemy.

56 But they put God to the test.

They refused to obey the Most High God.

They didn’t keep his laws.

57 Like their people who lived before them,

they turned away from him and were not faithful.

They were like a bow that doesn’t shoot straight.

They couldn’t be trusted.

58 They made God angry by going to their high places.

They made him jealous by worshiping the statues of their gods.

59 When God saw what the people were doing, he was very angry.

He turned away from them completely.

60 He deserted the holy tent at Shiloh.

He left the tent he had set up among his people.

61 He allowed the ark to be captured.

Into the hands of his enemies he sent the ark where his glory rested.

56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God

And did not keep His testimonies,

57 But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers;

They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

58 For they provoked Him with their high places

And aroused His jealousy with their graven images.

59 When God heard, He was filled with wrath

And greatly abhorred Israel;

60 So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh,

The tent which He had pitched among men,

61 And gave up His strength to captivity

And His glory into the hand of the adversary.
