- 78:21 So when the LORD heard it, he was enraged; fire blazed up against Jacob, and his anger rose against Israel, 1
- 78:31 when the anger of God blazed against them; he slew the best-fed among them and brought down the young men of Israel. 1
- 78:32 Even so they went on sinning; in spite of his marvels they would not believe. 1
- 78:33 So he let their days drift away like vapor and ended their years in sudden dread. 1
- 78:36 But their words to him were only flattery; with their tongues they lied to him, 1
- 78:38 Yet he was full of compassion; he covered their guilt and did not wipe them out. Many a time he held back his anger and did not let all his fury loose. 1

- 78:41 Once more they challenged God and wounded the Holy One of Israel. 1
- 78:57 They turned away and broke faith as their ancestors did; they went crooked like a warped bow. 1
- 78:60 He deserted the sanctuary at Shiloh, the tent where he had made his home among people. 1
- 78:67 He turned down the tent of Joseph; Ephraim's tribe was not the one he chose, 1
