29. And they ate and were well filled,for he gave them what they craved.
30. But before they had satisfied their craving, while the food was still in their mouths,
31. the anger of God rose against them,and he killed the strongest of themand laid low the young men of Israel.
32. In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe.
33. So he made their days vanish like a breath,and their years in terror.
34. When he killed them, they sought him;they repented and sought God earnestly.
35. They remembered that God was their rock,the Most High God their redeemer.
36. But they flattered him with their mouths;they lied to him with their tongues.
37. Their heart was not steadfast toward him;they were not faithful to his covenant.
38. Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquityand did not destroy them;he restrained his anger oftenand did not stir up all his wrath.
39. He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.
40. How often they rebelled against him in the wildernessand grieved him in the desert!
41. They tested God again and againand provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42. They did not remember his poweror the day when he redeemed them from the foe,
