56Yet they 1atempted and brebelled against the Most High God

And did not keep His testimonies,

57But turned back and aacted treacherously like their fathers;

They bturned aside like a treacherous bow.

58For they aprovoked Him with their bhigh places

And caroused His jealousy with their dgraven images.

59When God heard, He 1was filled with awrath

And greatly babhorred Israel;

60So that He aabandoned the bdwelling place at Shiloh,

The tent 1which He had pitched among men,

61And gave up His astrength to captivity

And His glory binto the hand of the adversary.

62He also adelivered His people to the sword,

And 1was filled with wrath at His inheritance.

63aFire devoured 1His young men,

And His bvirgins had no wedding songs.

641His apriests fell by the sword,

And His bwidows could not weep.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God

and did not keep his testimonies,

but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;

they twisted like a deceitful bow.

For they provoked him to anger with their high places;

they moved him to jealousy with their idols.

When God heard, he was full of wrath,

and he utterly rejected Israel.

He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,

the tent where he dwelt among mankind,

and delivered his power to captivity,

his glory to the hand of the foe.

He gave his people over to the sword

and vented his wrath on his heritage.

Fire devoured their young men,

and their young women had no marriage song.

Their priests fell by the sword,

and their widows made no lamentation.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

But they put God to the test

and rebelled against the Most High;

they did not keep his statutes.

Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless,

as unreliable as a faulty bow.

They angered him with their high places;

they aroused his jealousy with their idols.

When God heard them, he was furious;

he rejected Israel completely.

He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,

the tent he had set up among humans.

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 furious with his inheritance.

Fire consumed their young men,

and their young women had no wedding songs;

their priests were put to the sword,

and their widows could not weep.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

But they rebelliously tested the Most High God,

for they did not keep his decrees.

They treacherously turned away like their ancestors;

they became warped like a faulty bow.

They enraged him with their high places

and provoked his jealousy with their carved images.

God heard and became furious;

he completely rejected Israel.

He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,

the tent where he resided among mankind.

He gave up his strength to captivity

and his splendor to the hand of a foe.

He surrendered his people to the sword

because he was enraged with his heritage.

Fire consumed his chosen young men,

and his young women had no wedding songs.

His priests fell by the sword,

and the widows could not lament.

NLTNew Living Translation

But they kept testing and rebelling against God Most High.

They did not obey his laws.

They turned back and were as faithless as their parents.

They were as undependable as a crooked bow.

They angered God by building shrines to other gods;

they made him jealous with their idols.

When God heard them, he was very angry,

and he completely rejected Israel.

Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh,

the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people.

He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured;

he surrendered his glory into enemy hands.

He gave his people over to be butchered by the sword,

because he was so angry with his own people—his special possession.

Their young men were killed by fire;

their young women died before singing their wedding songs.

Their priests were slaughtered,

and their widows could not mourn their deaths.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

But they tested and rebelled against God Most High

and did not keep his statutes.

And they turned and were treacherous like their ancestors.

They twisted like a crooked bow.

For they provoked him to anger with their high places,

and made him jealous with their images.

God heard and he was very angry

and rejected Israel utterly.

So he abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh,

the tent he had placed among humankind.

And he gave his strength into captivity

and his splendor into the hand of the enemy.

He also handed his people over to the sword,

and he was very angry with his inheritance.

Fire devoured his young men,

and his young women were not praised.

His priests fell by the sword,

and his widows did not weep.

KJV 1900King James Version

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 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.

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.
