Psalms 78:9

7 that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.

8 Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.

10 They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.

11 They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.
