19:078:056 Yet they tempted and provoked the most
high God, and kept not
his
testimonies:
19:078:057 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully
like their fathers:
they
were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
19:078:058 For they provoked him to anger with their
high places, and
moved
him to jealousy with their graven images.
19:078:059 When God heard this, he was wroth, and
greatly abhorred
Israel:
19:078:060 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
the tent which he
placed
among men;
19:078:061 And delivered his strength into captivity,
and his glory into
the
enemy’s hand.
19:078:062 He gave his people over also unto the sword;
and was wroth
with
his inheritance.
19:078:063 The fire consumed their young men; and
their maidens were not
given
to marriage.
19:078:064 Their priests fell by the sword; and their
widows made no
lamentation.
19:078:065 Then the lord awaked as one out of
sleep, and like a mighty
man
that shouteth by reason of wine.
19:078:066 And he smote his enemies in the hinder
parts: he put them to a
perpetual
reproach.
19:078:067 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph,
and chose not
the
tribe of Ephraim:
19:078:068 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
19:078:069 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces,
like the earth
which
he hath established for ever.
19:078:070 He chose David also his servant, and took
him from the
sheepfolds:
19:078:071 From following the ewes great with young
he brought him to
feed
Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
19:078:072 So he fed them according to the integrity
of his heart; and
guided
them by the skilfulness of his hands.
19:079:001 O god, the heathen are come into thine
inheritance; thy holy
temple
have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
19:079:002 The dead bodies of thy servants have they
given to be meat
unto
the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto
the
beasts
of the earth.
19:079:003 Their blood have they shed like water round
about Jerusalem;
and
there was none to bury them.
19:079:004 We are become a reproach to our neighbours,
a scorn and
derision
to them that are round about us.
19:079:005 How long, lord? wilt thou be angry
for ever? shall thy
jealousy
burn like fire?
19:079:006 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that
have not known thee,
and
upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
