5 And he has received testimony with Jacob, and he has set a law within Israel. Such great things, he has commanded our fathers, so as to make these things known to their sons,
6 so that another generation might know them, and so that the sons, who will be born and who will grow up, shall describe them to their sons.
7 So then, may they put their hope in God, and may they not forget the works of God, and may they seek his commandments.
8 May they not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation: a generation that does not straighten their heart and whose spirit is not trustworthy with God.
9 The sons of Ephraim, who bend and shoot the bow, have been turned back in the day of battle.
10 They have not kept the covenant of God. And they were not willing to walk in his law.
11 And they have been forgetful of his benefits, and of his miracle, which he revealed to them.
