36. And--they deceive Him with their mouth, And with their tongue do lie to Him,
37. And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.
38. And He--the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.
39. And He remembereth that they [are] flesh, A wind going on--and it returneth not.
40. How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve Him in the desolate place?
41. Yea, they turn back, and try God, And the Holy One of Israel have limited.
42. They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them from the adversary.
43. When He set His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan,
44. And He turneth to blood their streams, And their floods they drink not.
45. He sendeth among them the beetle, and it consumeth them, And the frog, and it destroyeth them,
46. And giveth to the caterpillar their increase, And their labour to the locust.
47. He destroyeth with hail their vine, And their sycamores with frost,
48. And delivereth up to the hail their beasts, And their cattle to the burning flames.
49. He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress--A discharge of evil messengers.
50. He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.
51. And He smiteth every first-born in Egypt, The first-fruit of the strong in tents of Ham.
52. And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth them as a drove in a wilderness,
53. And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered.
54. And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had got,
55. And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,
56. And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His testimonies have not kept.
