34. When He slew them, then they sought Him;And they returned and sought earnestly for God.
35. Then they remembered that God was their rock,And the Most High God their Redeemer.
36. Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth,And they lied to Him with their tongue;
37. For their heart was not steadfast with Him,Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
38. But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity,And did not destroy them.Yes, many a time He turned His anger away,And did not stir up all His wrath;
39. For He remembered that they were but flesh,A breath that passes away and does not come again.
40. How often they provoked Him in the wilderness,And grieved Him in the desert!
41. Yes, again and again they tempted God,And limited the Holy One of Israel.
42. They did not remember His power:The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,
43. When He worked His signs in Egypt,And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
44. Turned their rivers into blood,And their streams, that they could not drink.
45. He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,And frogs, which destroyed them.
46. He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,And their labor to the locust.
47. He destroyed their vines with hail,And their sycamore trees with frost.
