The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: works of God, but keep his commandments:
PSA 78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious
generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose
spirit was not stedfast with God.
PSA 78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows,
turned back in the day of battle.
PSA 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his
law;
PSA 78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed
them.
PSA 78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in
 King James Bible |
