31. God’s anger flared up against them,and he made a slaughter of their strongest,laying low the youth of Israel.
32. In spite of all this they went on sinning,they did not believe in his wonders.
33. God ended their days abruptly,their years in sudden death.
34. When he slew them, they began to seek him;they again looked for God.
35. They remembered that God was their rock,God Most High, their redeemer.
36. But they deceived him with their mouths,lied to him with their tongues.
