Psalms 78:56-64

Psalms 78:56-64 CEVDCI

But the people tested God Most High, and they refused to obey his laws. They were as unfaithful as their ancestors, and they were as crooked as a twisted arrow. God demanded all their love, but they made him angry by worshiping idols. So God became furious and completely rejected the people of Israel. Then he deserted his home at Shiloh, where he lived here on earth. He let enemies capture the sacred chest and let them dishonor him. God took out his anger on his chosen ones and let them be killed by enemy swords. Fire destroyed the young men, and the young women were left with no one to marry. Priests died violent deaths, but their widows were not allowed to mourn.
