56 But they tested God Most High and made him very sad. They didn’t obey his commands.
57 They turned against him and were unfaithful just like their ancestors. They changed directions like a boomerang.
58 They built high places and made God angry. They built statues of false gods and made him jealous.
59 God heard what they were doing and became very angry. So he rejected Israel completely!
60 He abandoned his place at Shiloh, the Holy Tent where he lived among the people.
61 He let foreigners capture the Box of the Agreement, the symbol of his power and glory.
62 He showed his anger against his people and let them be killed in war.
