31. when the anger of God flared up against them.He killed some of the strongest of them;he brought the young men of Israel to their knees.
32. Despite all this, they continued to sin,and did not trust him to do amazing things.
33. So he caused them to die unsatisfiedand filled with terror.
34. When he struck them down, they sought his favor;they turned back and longed for God.
35. They remembered that God was their protector,and that the sovereign God was their deliverer.
36. But they deceived him with their words,and lied to him.
37. They were not really committed to him,and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
