55. He also drove out the nations before them And apportioned them for an inheritance by measurement, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
56. Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God And did not keep His testimonies,
57. But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers; They turned aside like a treacherous bow.
58. For they provoked Him with their high places And aroused His jealousy with their graven images.
59. When God heard, He was filled with wrath And greatly abhorred Israel;
60. So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh, The tent which He had pitched among men,
61. And gave up His strength to captivity And His glory into the hand of the adversary.
62. He also delivered His people to the sword, And was filled with wrath at His inheritance.
63. Fire devoured His young men, And His virgins had no wedding songs.
64. His priests fell by the sword, And His widows could not weep.
65. Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, Like a warrior overcome by wine.
66. He drove His adversaries backward; He put on them an everlasting reproach.
