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.
