Psalm 78:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ That they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but might keep His commandments

⁸ And might not be as their fathers—a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that set not their hearts aright nor prepared their hearts to know God, and whose spirits were not steadfast and faithful to God.

⁹ The children of Ephraim were armed and carrying bows, yet they turned back in the day of battle.
