Psalms 78:5-9
5
He decreed statutes for Jacob
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our forefathers
to teach their children,
6
so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would tell their children.
7
Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.
8
They would not be like their forefathers—
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
9
The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,
turned back on the day of battle;
