56 But they rebelliously tested the Most High God,for they did not keep His decrees.
57 They treacherously turned away like their fathers;they became warped like a faulty bow.
58 They enraged Him with their high placesand provoked His jealousy with their carved images.
59 God heard and became furious;He completely rejected Israel.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,the tent where He resided among men.
61 He gave up His strength to captivityand His splendor to the hand of a foe.
62 He surrendered His people to the swordbecause He was enraged with His heritage.
