32In spite of all this, they sinned still more, for they believed not in (relied not on and adhered not to Him for) His wondrous works.
33Therefore their days He consumed like a breath [in emptiness, falsity, and futility] and their years in terror and sudden haste.
34When He slew [some of] them, [the remainder] inquired after Him diligently, and they repented and sincerely sought God [for a time].
35And they [earnestly] remembered that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer.
36Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouths and lied to Him with their tongues.
37For their hearts were not right or sincere with Him, neither were they faithful and steadfast to His covenant.
38But He, full of [merciful] compassion, forgave their iniquity and destroyed them not; yes, many a time He turned His anger away and did not stir up all His wrath and indignation.
39For He [earnestly] remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that goes and does not return.
40How often they defied and rebelled against Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
41And time and again they turned back and tempted God, provoking and incensing the Holy One of Israel.
42They remembered not [seriously the miracles of the working of] His hand, nor the day when He delivered them from the enemy,
