- In spite of all this they still sinned And did not believe in His wonderful works.
- So He brought their days to an end in futility And their years in sudden terror.
- When He killed them, then they sought Him, And returned and searched diligently for God;
- And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer.
- But they deceived Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.
|
- For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
- Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
- When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
- And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
- Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
|
- For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
- But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger And did not arouse all His wrath.
- Thus He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.
- How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert!
- Again and again they tempted God, And pained the Holy One of Israel.
|
- For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
- But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
- For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
- How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
- Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
