32. In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe.
33. So he made their days vanish like a breath,and their years in terror.
34. When he killed them, they sought him;they repented and sought God earnestly.
35. They remembered that God was their rock,the Most High God their redeemer.
36. But they flattered him with their mouths;they lied to him with their tongues.
37. Their heart was not steadfast toward him;they were not faithful to his covenant.
38. Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquityand did not destroy them;he restrained his anger oftenand did not stir up all his wrath.
39. He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.
40. How often they rebelled against him in the wildernessand grieved him in the desert!
41. They tested God again and againand provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42. They did not remember his poweror the day when he redeemed them from the foe,
43. when he performed his signs in Egyptand his marvels in the fields of Zoan.
44. He turned their rivers to blood,so that they could not drink of their streams.
45. He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them,and frogs, which destroyed them.
46. He gave their crops to the destroying locustand the fruit of their labor to the locust.
47. He destroyed their vines with hailand their sycamores with frost.
48. He gave over their cattle to the hailand their flocks to thunderbolts.
