Psalms 78:11
9 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.
They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.
12 He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
13 He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
