Psalms 78:9 in Context — Psalms 78

7 A fin de que pongan en Dios su confianza, y no se olviden de las obras de Dios, y guarden sus mandamientos:

8 Y no sean como sus padres, generación contumaz y rebelde; generación que no apercibió su corazón, ni fué fiel para con Dios su espíritu.

9 Los hijos de Ephraim armados, flecheros, volvieron [las espaldas] el día de la batalla.

10 No guardaron el pacto de Dios, ni quisieron andar en su ley:

11 Antes se olvidaron de sus obras, y de sus maravillas que les había mostrado.
