2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will pour forth dark sayings of old,
3 those which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their sons; to declare to the coming generation the praises of Jehovah; yea, His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
5 For he raised a testimony in Jacob, and set a law in Israel; which he commanded our fathers, to teach them to their sons;
6 So that a coming generation may know; sons shall be born; they shall rise up and tell their sons,
7 so that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments.
8 And they shall not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not its heart; yea, whose spirit was not faithful with God.
9 The sons of Ephraim, armed shooters of bows, turned back in the day of battle.
