6. that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,
7. that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,
8. and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

10. They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.
11. They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
