Yet God most high they did provoke, and tempted ever still; And to observe his testimonies did not incline their will:
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, And kept not his testimonies:
Yet they tempted and provoked and rebelled against the Most High God and kept not His testimonies.
Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;
But they tested and defied the Most High God; they didn’t pay attention to his warnings.
And might not, like their fathers, be a stiff rebellious race; A race not right in heart; with God whose sp'rit not stedfast was.
