Scripture focus

56. Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: 57. But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 58. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 59. When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 60. So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent [which] he placed among men; 61. And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand. 62. He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. 63. The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. 64. Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
