55 hHe also drove out the nations before them,

iAllotted them an inheritance by 3survey,

And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

56 jYet they tested and provoked the Most High God,

And did not keep His testimonies,

57 But kturned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;

They were turned aside llike a deceitful bow.

58 mFor they provoked Him to anger with their nhigh places,

And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.

59 When God heard this, He was furious,

And greatly abhorred Israel,

60 oSo that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,

The tent He had placed among men,

61 pAnd delivered His strength into captivity,

And His glory into the enemy’s hand.

62 qHe also gave His people over to the sword,

And was furious with His inheritance.

63 The fire consumed their young men,

And rtheir maidens were not given in marriage.

64 sTheir priests fell by the sword,

And ttheir widows made no lamentation.
