Psalm 78:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
That they should place their confidence in God
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments,
⁸ 
And not be like their fathers—
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that did not prepare its heart to know and follow God,
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

⁹ 
The sons of Ephraim were armed as archers and carrying bows,
Yet they turned back in the day of battle.
