Psalm 78:59-64
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
C
59 God heard and grew angry;
he rejected Israel completely.
60 He forsook the shrine at Shiloh,[a](A)
the tent he set up among human beings.
61 He gave up his might into captivity,
his glorious ark into the hands of the foe.(B)
62 God delivered his people to the sword;
he was enraged against his heritage.
63 Fire consumed their young men;
their young women heard no wedding songs.(C)
64 Their priests fell by the sword;
their widows made no lamentation.
