LXX2012(i)
2 I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter dark sayings [which have been] from the beginning.
3 All which we have heard and known, and our fathers have declared to us.
4 They were not hid from their children to a second generations; [the fathers] declaring the praises of the Lord, and his mighty acts, and his wonders which he wrought.
5 And he raised up a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, to make it known to their children:
6 that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children.
7 That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but diligently seek his commandments.
8 That they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation; a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with God.
9 The children of Ephraim, bending and shooting [with] the bow, turned [back] in the day of battle.
