35. Then they remembered that God was their Rock and El Elyon their Redeemer.
36. But they flattered Him with their mouth and kept lying to Him with their tongue.
37. For their heart was not steadfast with Him, nor were they faithful to His covenant.
38. But He is compassionate, forgives iniquity and does not destroy. Yes, many times He restrains His anger, and does not stir up all His wrath.
39. For He remembered that they are but flesh, a passing breath that never returns.
40. How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness, and grieved Him in the desert!
41. Again and again they tested God, and pained the Holy One of Israel.
42. They did not remember His hand— the day He redeemed them from the foe,
43. when He displayed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the plain of Zoan.
