37. their hearts were not loyal to him,they were not faithful to his covenant.
38. Yet he was merciful;he forgave their iniquitiesand did not destroy them.Time after time he restrained his angerand did not stir up his full wrath.
39. He remembered that they were but flesh,a passing breeze that does not return.
40. How often they rebelled against him in the wildernessand grieved him in the wasteland!
41. Again and again they put God to the test;they vexed the Holy One of Israel.
42. They did not remember his power –the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,
43. the day he displayed his signs in Egypt,his wonders in the region of Zoan.
