Psalms 78:57–58

¹⁶They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

^16*They returne, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitfull bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

²⁷¶ Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

²⁸For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

²⁷¶ ^†Therefore sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the LORD God, Yet in this your fathers haue blasphemed me, in that they haue committed a trespasse against me.

²⁸ For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hand to giue it to them, then they saw euery high hill, and all the thicke trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the prouocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet sauour, and powred out there their drinke offerings.

⁵¶ And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

⁶And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

⁷And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

⁵¶ And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hiuites, and Iebusites,

⁶And they tooke their daughters to be their wiues, and gaue their daughters to their sonnes, and serued their gods.

⁷And the children of Israel did euill in the sight of the LORD, and forgate the LORD their God, and serued Baalim, and the groues.

⁸And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

^8†And might not bee as their fathers, a stubborne and rebellious generation, a generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

¹²¶ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.

¹²¶ And the children of Israel did euill againe in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done euill in the sight of the LORD.

¹⁰They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

¹¹And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

¹²Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹³He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

¹⁴In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

¹⁵He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.

¹⁶He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

¹⁹Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

²⁰Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

²²Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

²³Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

²⁴And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.

²⁶He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

²⁷He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

²⁸And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

²⁹So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

³⁰They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³²For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

³³Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

³⁴When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.

³⁵And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

³⁶Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

³⁷For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

¹⁰They kept not the couenant of God: and refused to walke in his Law:

¹¹And forgat his workes: and his wonders that he had shewed them.

¹²Marueilous things did he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

^13*Hee diuided the Sea, and caused them to passe through: and he made the waters to stand as an heape.

^14*In the day time also he led them with a cloud: and all the night with a light of fire.

^15*Hee claue the rockes in the wildernes: and gaue them drinke as out of the great depthes.

¹⁶Hee brought streames also out of the rocke, and caused waters to runne downe like riuers.

¹⁷And they sinned yet more against him: by prouoking the most High in the wildernes.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their heart: by asking meat for their lust.

^19*†Yea, they spake against God: they said, Can God furnish a table in the wildernes?

^20*Behold, he smote the rocke, that the waters gushed out, & the streames ouerflowed; can he giue bread also? can he prouide flesh for his people?

²¹Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Iacob: and anger also came vp against Israel.

²²Because they beleeued not in God: and trusted not in his saluation:

²³Though he had commanded the cloudes from aboue: and opened the doores of heauen:

^24*And had rained downe Manna vpon them to eate, and had giuen them of the corne of heauen.

^25*‖Man did eate Angels food: hee sent them meat to the full.

^26†He caused an East wind to blow in the heauen: and by his power hee brought in the South wind.

^27†He rained flesh also vpon them as dust: and feathered soules like as the sand of the sea.

²⁸And hee let it fall in the midst of their campe, round about their habitations.

²⁹So they did eate, & were well filled: for he gaue them their owne desire.

^30*They were not estranged from their lust: but while their meate was yet in their mouthes,

^31†‖The wrath of God came vpon them, and slew the fattest of them: and smote downe the chosen men of Israel.

³²For all this they sinned still: and beleeued not for his wondrous works.

³³Therefore their dayes did he consume in vanitie, and their yeeres in trouble.

³⁴When hee slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and inquired early after God.

³⁵And they remembred that God was their rocke: and the high God, their redeemer.

³⁶Neuerthelesse they did flatter him with their mouth: and they lyed vnto him with their tongues.

³⁷For their heart was not right with him: neither were they stedfast in his couenant.

⁴¹Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

⁴¹Yea they turned backe and tempted God: and limited the holy one of Israel.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

²¹They haue mooued me to ielousie with that which is not god, they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: And ^*I will moue them to ielousie with those which are not a people, I will prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

³⁰And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

³⁰And I will destroy your high places, and ^*cut downe your images, and cast your carkeises vpon the carkeises of your idoles, and my soule shall abhorre you.

²²Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

²²Doe we prouoke the Lord to iealousie? are we stronger then he?

³¹And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

³¹And he made an house of hie places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sonnes of Leui.

⁷Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

⁷Then did Solomon build an hie place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Ierusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

²Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:

^2*Yee shall vtterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which yee shall ^‖possesse, serued their gods, vpon the high mountaines, and vpon the hils, and vnder euery greene tree.

¹⁶They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

¹⁷They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

¹⁶They prouoked him to ielousie with strange gods, with abominations prouoked they him to anger.

¹⁷They sacrificed vnto deuils, ^‖not to God: to gods whom they knew not, to new gods, that came newly vp, whom your fathers feared not.

⁴Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

⁵Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

^4*Thou shalt not make vnto thee any grauen Image, or any likenesse of any thing that is in heauen aboue, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water vnder the earth.

⁵Thou shalt not bow downe thy selfe to them, nor serue them: For I the LORD thy God am a iealous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vnto the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate me:

¹¹¶ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim:

¹²And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.

¹¹¶ And the children of Israel did euil in the sight of the LORD, and serued Baalim:

¹²And they forsooke the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselues vnto them, and prouoked the LORD to anger.

¹⁰And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded.

¹⁰And ^*had commaunded him concerning this thing, that hee should not goe after other gods: but hee kept not that which the LORD commanded.

⁴Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God.

¹⁵Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

¹⁵Cursed be the man that maketh any grauen or molten image, an abomination vnto the LORD, the worke of the handes of the craftesman, and putteth it in a secret place: and all the people shall answere and say, Amen.

¹⁶Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

¹⁷The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

¹⁸The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

¹⁹And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

²⁰But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

²¹Furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

²²But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

²³Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.

²⁵¶ When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger:

¹⁶Lest yee corrupt your selues, and make you a grauen image, the similitude of any figure, the likenes of male, or female,

¹⁷The likenesse of any beast that is on the earth, the likenes of any winged foule that flieth in the aire,

²⁸For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
