59 God heard and [a]was filled with (A)wrath
And greatly (B)rejected Israel;
60 So that He (C)abandoned the (D)dwelling place at Shiloh,
The tent [b]which He caused to dwell among men,
61 And gave up His (E)strength to captivity
And His beauty (F)into the hand of the adversary.
62 He also (G)gave over His people to the sword,
And [c]was filled with wrath at His inheritance.
63 (H)Fire devoured [d]His choice men,
And [e]His (I)virgins had no wedding songs.
64 [f]His (J)priests fell by the sword,
And [g]His (K)widows could not weep.

65 Then the Lord (L)awoke as if from sleep,
As if He were a (M)warrior [h]overcome by wine.
