5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;
6 That the generation to come might know them, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children,
7 And that they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of ·God but observe his commandments;
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with ·God
9 The sons of Ephraim, armed bowmen, turned back in the day of battle.
10 They kept not the covenant of God and refused to walk in his law;
11 And forgot his doings, and his marvellous works which he had shewn them.
