Psalms 78:30-34 in English

³⁰ They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.

³³ Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror.

³⁴ When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

³³ Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

³⁴ When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³³ Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not in his wondrous works.

³³ Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in terror.

³⁴ When he slew them, then they inquired after him: and they returned and sought God early.

³⁰ But before they had eaten all that they wanted, and while they were still eating it,

³¹ God was still very angry with them, and he caused their strongest men to die; he got rid of many of the finest young Israeli men.

³² In spite of all that, the people continued to sin; in spite of all the miracles that God had performed, they still did not trust that he would take care of them.

³³ So, he caused their lives to end as quickly as a puff of wind ends; they died when disasters suddenly struck them.

³⁴ When God caused some of them to die, the others turned to God; they repented and earnestly asked God to save them.

³⁰ They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

³³ Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

³³ Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

³⁴ When he killed them, then they enquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.

³⁰ But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,

³¹ The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.

³³ So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.

³⁴ When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;

³⁰ They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this, they sinned still, and believed not in his marvellous works;

³³ And he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

³⁴ When he slew them, then they sought him, and returned and sought early after God;

³⁰ But before they satisfied their appetite, while the meat was still in their mouths,

³¹ God became angry with them and he killed their strongest men, striking them down in the prime of life.

³² Despite all this they went right on sinning. Despite the miracles, they refused to trust him.

³³ So he snuffed out their futile lives, bringing them to an end in terror.

³⁴ When he began killing them, the rest came back to God in repentance, praying to him.

³⁰ They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,

³¹ When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.

³² For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.

³³ Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.

³⁴ And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their craving, their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the lustieth among them, and smote down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not in His wondrous works.

³³ Therefore He ended their days as a breath, and their years in terror.

³⁴ When He slew them, then they would inquire after Him, and turn back and seek God earnestly.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ The wrath of God came upon them, And slew the fattest of them, And smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³³ Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in trouble.

³⁴ When he slew them, then they sought him: And they returned and inquired early after God.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their longing, yet was their food in their mouth:

³¹ When the wrath of God ascended against them, and he slew some of the fattest of them, and the young men of Israel did he strike down.

³² With all this they sinned again, and believed not in his wonders.

³³ Therefore he caused their days to come to an end in nought, and their years in dread.

³⁴ When he slew them, then did they seek him, and they returned and inquired earnestly after God.

³⁰ Their desire was not yet satisfied, And their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the wrath of God came upon them, And slew their strong men, And smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, And put no trust in his wondrous works.

³³ Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, And their years in sudden destruction.

³⁴ When he slew them, they sought him; They returned, and sought earnestly for God;

³⁰ But the thing they desired became loathsome: while their food was still in their mouths,

³¹ the wrath of God rose against them. He slew the stoutest amongst them, and laid low the young men of Israel.

³² Yet for all this they sinned yet more, and refused to believe in his wonders.

³³ So he ended their days in a breath, and their years in sudden dismay.

³⁴ When he slew them, then they sought after him, they turned and sought God with diligence.

³⁰ But they had not yet filled up; their food was still in their mouths.

³¹ Then God's anger attacked them and killed the strongest of them. He brought down the young men of Israel.

³² Despite this, they continued to sin and did not believe his wonderful deeds.

³³ Therefore God cut short their days; their years were filled with terror.

³⁴ Whenever God afflicted them, they would start to seek him, and they would return and look earnestly for him.

³⁰ they were not defrauded of their desire. Yet their meats were in their mouth;

³¹ and the wrath of God ascended or went up on them. And he killed the fat men of them; and he hindered the chosen men of Israel.

³² In all these things they sinned yet; and believed not in the marvels of God.

³³ And the days of them failed in vanity; and the years of them failed with haste.

³⁴ When he killed them, they sought him; and they turned again, and early they came to him.

³⁰ they were not defrauded of their desire. Yet their meats were in their mouth; (but their desire, or their yearning, was not yet quenched. And so while the food were yet in their mouths;)

³¹ and the wrath of God ascended on them. And he killed the fat men of them; and he hindered the chosen men of Israel. (God’s anger descended upon them. And he killed their most stout-hearted men; yea, he struck down Israel’s chosen men.)

³² In all these things they sinned yet; and believed not in the marvels of God. (Yet in spite of all these things, they still sinned; and did not believe or and had no faith in God’s marvellous deeds.)

³³ And the days of them failed in vanity; and the years of them failed with haste. (And so he ended their days like a breath; and their years with sudden disaster.)

³⁴ When he killed them, they sought him; and they turned again, and early they came to him. (And after he killed some of them, then they sought him again; and they returned, and they came eagerly to him.)

³⁰ They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet is their food in their mouth,

³¹ And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.

³² With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.

³³ And He consumeth in vanity their days, And their years in trouble.

³⁴ If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and sought God earnestly,
