58. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59. When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60. So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
61. And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the adversary's hand.
62. He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63. Fire devoured their young men; and their maidens had no marriage-song.
64. Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65. Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66. And he smote his adversaries backward: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
67. Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;
68. But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69. And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70. He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71. From following the ewes that give suck he brought him, to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
