Psalms 78:62

60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent He had pitched among men.

61 He delivered His strength to captivity, and His splendor to the hand of the adversary.

He surrendered His people to the sword because He was enraged by His heritage.

63 Fire consumed His young men, and their maidens were left without wedding songs.

64 His priests fell by the sword, but their widows could not lament.
