5 For he established a covenant in Jacob,and appointed a teaching in Israel,which he commanded our fathers,that they should make them known to their children;
6 that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born;who should arise and tell their children,
7 that they might set their hope in God,and not forget God’s deeds,but keep his commandments,
8 and might not be as their fathers,a stubborn and rebellious generation,a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal,whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,turned back in the day of battle.
10 They didn’t keep God’s covenant,and refused to walk by his Torah.
11 They forgot his doings,his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
