⁷ that they might set their hope in God,
    and not forget God’s deeds,
    but keep his commandments,
⁸ and might not be as their fathers,
    a stubborn and rebellious generation,
    a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal,
    whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
⁹ The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,
    turned back in the day of battle.
