‏ Psalms 78:8

v. 8: The psalmist warns, “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 steadfast with God”. He wants the new generation to learn from the mistakes of their ancestors, who did not follow God with sincere hearts. If we know what went wrong before, we can choose a better path now. We should not copy what was bad, even if it is tradition (1 Peter 1:18 ^a).
