57. But turned back. Turned over the old leaf,
repeated the same offenses, were false and faithless to their best promises. And dealt unfaithfully like their fathers. They were a new generation, but not
a new nation. Evil propensities are transmitted. Human nature does not improve.
They were turned aside like a deceitful bow, which not only fails to
send the arrow towards the mark in a direct line, but springs back to the
archer’s hurt, and perhaps sends the shaft among his friends to their serious
jeopardy.
