Psalm 78:55-57

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵⁵He chased away the nations that were living there.
He gave to each tribe their own piece of land,
so that Israel's tribes could live there.^[a]

⁵⁶But the Israelites continued to test the Most High God,
    and they turned against him.
They did not obey his commands.^[b]
⁵⁷They turned away from him and they deceived him,
    as their ancestors had done.
They were useless,
    like a bow that would not shoot straight!
