49. He threw on them the fierceness of his anger,wrath, indignation, and trouble,and a band of angels of evil.
50. He made a path for his anger.He didn’t spare their soul from death,but gave their life over to the pestilence,
51. and struck all the firstborn in Egypt,the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
52. But he led out his own people like sheep,and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53. He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid,but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54. He brought them to the border of his sanctuary,to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
55. He also drove out the nations before them,allotted them for an inheritance by line,and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56. Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God,and didn’t keep his testimonies;
57. but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers.They were twisted like a deceitful bow.
58. For they provoked him to anger with their high places,and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
59. When God heard this, he was angry,and greatly abhorred Israel;
60. So that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh,the tent which he placed amongst men;
61. and delivered his strength into captivity,his glory into the adversary’s hand.
62. He also gave his people over to the sword,and was angry with his inheritance.
63. Fire devoured their young men.Their virgins had no wedding song.
64. Their priests fell by the sword,and their widows couldn’t weep.
