Incline your ears to the 59 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in 60 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: a parable I will utter dark sayings of old, which 61 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 62 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: We will not hide them from their children. Shewing to 63 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: the generation to come the praises of the Lord and 64 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: his strength and his wonderful works that he hath done. 65 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: For he established a testimony in Jacob and a poor 66 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: pointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, 67 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 2: that they should make them known to their children, that 68 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: the generation to come might know them, even the children 69 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: which should be born, who should arise and declare them 70 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: to their children, that they might set their hope in God, 71 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 2: and not fear the works of God, but keep His commandments, 72 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: and might not be as their fathers. A stubborn and 73 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 2: rebellious generation, a generation that set not their heart aright, 74 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: and whose spirit was not steadfast with God. The children 75 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: of Ephru, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in 76 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: the day of battle. They kept not the covenant of God, 77 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: and refused to walk in his law, and forgot his 78 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: works and his wonders that he had shoot them. Marvelous 79 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 2: things did he in the sight of their fathers, in 80 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: the land of Egypt, in the field of his own 81 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 2: he divided the sea and caused them to pass through, 82 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,119 Speaker 2: and he made the waters to stand as an heap. 83 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: In the daytime, Also he led them with a cloud, 84 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: and all the night with the light of fire. He 85 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: clave the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink 86 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: as out of the great depths. He brought streams also 87 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: out of the rock, and caused waters to run down 88 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: like rivers. And they sinned yet more against him by 89 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: provoking the most high in the wilderness. And they tempted 90 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. Yea, 91 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: they spake against God. They said, can God furnish a 92 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: table in the wilderness? Behold, he smote the rock that 93 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he 94 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: give bread? Also? Can he provide flesh for his people? 95 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: Therefore the Lord heard this and was wroth. So a 96 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up 97 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: against Israel, because they believed not in God and trusted 98 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: not in his salvation. Though He had commanded the clouds 99 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: from above and opened the doors of heaven, and had 100 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given 101 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: them of the corn of heaven, man did eat angels food. 102 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: He sent them meat to the full. He caused an 103 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: east wind to blow in the heaven, and by his 104 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: power he brought in the south wind. He rained flesh 105 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 2: also upon them as dust, and feathered fowl like as 106 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: the sand of the sea, and he let it fall 107 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: in the midst of their camp round about their habitations. 108 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: So they did eat and were well filled, for He 109 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 2: gave them their own desire. They were not estranged from 110 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 2: their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 111 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 2: the wrath of God came upon them and slew the 112 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 2: fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 113 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: For all this they sinned still and believed not for 114 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: his wondrous works. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, 115 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: and their years in trouble. When he slew them, then 116 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: they sought him, and they returned and inquired early after God. 117 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: And they remembered that God was their rock and the 118 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: high God there redeemer. Nevertheless, they did flatter him with 119 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues, 120 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: for their heart was not right with him. Neither were 121 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: they steadfast in his covenant. But he, being full of compassion, 122 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 2: forgave their iniquity and destroyed them. Not Yea, many a 123 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: time turned he his anger away and did not stir 124 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: up all his wrath, for he remembered that they were 125 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 2: but flesh, a wind that passeth away and cometh not again. 126 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness and 127 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: grieve him in the desert. Yea, they turned back and 128 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: tempted God and limited the Holy One of Israel. They 129 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: remembered not his hand nor the day when he delivered 130 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 2: them from the enemy. How he had wrought his signs 131 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 2: in Egypt and his wonders in the field of Zonne, 132 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: and had turned the rivers into blood, and their floods 133 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: that they could not drink. He sent divers, sorts of 134 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs which destroyed them. 135 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: He gave also their inquiries unto the caterpillar, and their 136 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: labor unto the locusts. He destroyed their vines with hail, 137 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: and their sycamore trees with frost. He gave up their 138 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 2: cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 139 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, 140 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 2: and indignation and trouble. By sending evil angels among them, 141 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: he made a way to his anger. He spared not 142 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: their soul from death, but gave their life over to 143 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 2: the pestilence, and smote all first born in Egypt, the 144 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham, But 145 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: made his own people to go forth like sheep, and 146 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: guided them in the wilderness like a flock. And he 147 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: led them on safely, so that they feared not. But 148 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: the sea overwhelmed their enemies, and he brought them to 149 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 2: the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain which 150 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: his right hand had purchased. He cast out the heathen 151 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: also before them, and divided them in inheritance by line, 152 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 153 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: Yet they tempted and provoked the Most High God, and 154 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,359 Speaker 2: kept not his testimonies, but turned back and dealt unfaithfully. 155 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 2: Like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 156 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: For they evoked him to anger with their high places, 157 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. When 158 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: God heard this, he was wroth and greatly abhorred Israel, 159 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: so that he forstook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent 160 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: which he had placed among men, and delivered his strength 161 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: into captivity and his glory into the enemy's hand. He 162 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: gave his people over also unto the sword, and was 163 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 2: wroth with his inheritance. The fire consumed their young men, 164 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 2: and their maidens were not given to marriage. Their priests 165 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,599 Speaker 2: fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation. 166 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, and 167 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 2: like a mighty man that shouteth by the reason of wine, 168 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: and he smote his enemies in the hinder parts.
