38. But He being full of compassionforgave their iniquityand did not destroy them.He constantly restrained His anger,and did not stir up all His wrath;
39. for He remembered that they were but flesh,like a wind that passes away and does not return.
40. How often they provoked Him in the wildernessand grieved Him in the desert!
41. Yes, they tested God over and over,and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42. They did not remember His power,nor the day when He delivered them from the enemy,
43. how He had performed His signs in Egyptand His wonders in the fields of Zoan:
44. and He turned their rivers into blood,so that they could not drink from their streams.
45. He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,and frogs, which destroyed them.
46. He gave also their crops to the grasshopperand the fruit of their labor to the locust.
