Psalms 78:30-34

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

³¹God 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.

³²In 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.

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

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