Psalm 78:9
World English Bible (WEB)
The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
In context
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.
10 They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.
11 They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
