3 which we have heard and known,what our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children,but will tell the coming generationthe praises of the Lord,and His strength, and the wonderful works that He has done.
5 For He established a rule in Jacob,and appointed a law in Israel,which He commanded our fathersthat they should make them known to their children,
6 that the generation to come might know them,even the children who are not yet born,who will arise and declare them to their children:
7 that they might set their hope in Godand not forget the works of God,but keep His commandments,
8 and they might not be as their fathers,a stubborn and rebellious generation,a generation that did not set their heart steadfast,and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9 The people of Ephraim, being armed with bows,turned back in the day of battle.
