Psalms 78:34-38

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

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

³⁶But they beguiled Him with their mouth, and lied unto Him with their tongue.

³⁷For their heart was not stedfast with Him, neither were they faithful in His covenant.

³⁸But He, being full of compassion, forgiveth iniquity, and destroyeth not; yea, many a time doth He turn His anger away, and doth not stir up all His wrath.
