Psalms 78:8 in Context — Psalms 78

6 Para que a geração seguinte [dela] soubesse; [e] os filhos que nascessem contassem a seus filhos;

7 E [assim] pusessem sua esperança em Deus; e não se esquecessem dos feitos de Deus, mas sim, que guardassem os mandamentos dele;

8 E não fossem como seus pais, [que foram] uma geração teimosa e rebelde; geração que não firmou seu coração, e cujo espírito não foi fiel a Deus.

9 Os filhos de Efraim, mesmo tendo arcos e flechas, viraram-se para trás no dia da batalha;

10 Não guardaram o pacto de Deus, e recusaram a andar conforme sua Lei.
