55 He forced out the other nations.And he had his people inherit the land.He let the tribes of Israel settle there in tents.
56 But they tested Godand turned against the Most High.They did not keep his rules.
57 They turned away and sinned just like their ancestors.They were like a crooked bow that does not shoot straight.
58 They made God angry by building places to worship false gods.They made him jealous with their idols.
59 When God heard them, he became very angry.And he rejected the people of Israel completely.
60 He left his dwelling at Shiloh,the tent where he lived among men.
61 He let his Ark of the Covenant be captured.He let the Ark of the Covenant, which was his glory, be taken by enemies.
