PSALMS 78:33-40

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

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

³⁵And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.

³⁶But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue.

³⁷For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.

³⁸But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

³⁹And he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

⁴⁰How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
