56 Yet they atested and brebelled against the Most High God
And did not keep His testimonies,
57 But turned back and aacted treacherously like their fathers;
They bturned aside like a treacherous bow.
58 For they aprovoked Him with their bhigh places
And caroused His jealousy with their dgraven images.
59 God heard and was filled with awrath
And greatly brejected Israel;
60 So that He aabandoned the bdwelling place at Shiloh,
The tent which He caused to dwell among men,
61 And gave up His astrength to captivity
And His beauty binto the hand of the adversary.
62 He also agave over His people to the sword,
And was filled with wrath at His inheritance.
63 aFire devoured His choice men,
And His bvirgins had no wedding songs.
64 His apriests fell by the sword,
And His bwidows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord aawoke as if from sleep,
As if He were a bwarrior overcome by wine.
66 He astruck His adversaries backward;
He put on them an everlasting reproach.
67 He also arejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount aZion which He loved.
69 And He abuilt His sanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has founded forever.
70 He also achose David His servant
And took him from the sheepfolds;
71 From afollowing the bnursing ewes He brought him
To cshepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel dHis inheritance.
