32. In spite of all this, they continued to sin,and they no longer believed in his miracles.
33. He brought their days to an end like a whisper in the wind.He brought their years to an end in terror.
34. When he killed ⌊some of⌋ them, ⌊the rest⌋ searched for him.They turned from their sins and eagerly looked for God.
35. They remembered that God was their rock,that the Most High was their defender.
36. They flattered him with their mouthsand lied to him with their tongues.
37. Their hearts were not loyal to him.They were not faithful to his promise.
38. But he is compassionate.He forgave their sin.He did not destroy them.He restrained his anger many times.He did not display all of his fury.
