- 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 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.
