King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
5
He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children,
6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
6
so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
7
Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.
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.
8
They would not be like their ancestors— a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him.
