31. and the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
32. In all these things they sinned still: and they believed not for his wondrous works.
33. And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.
34. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
35. And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer.
36. And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him:
37. But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
38. But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.
39. And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not.
