34When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;
35In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.
36But their lips were false to him, and their tongues were untrue to him;
37And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.
38But he, being full of pity, has forgiveness for sin, and does not put an end to man: frequently turning back his wrath, and not being violently angry.
39So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.
40How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!
41Again they put God to the test, and gave pain to the Holy One of Israel.
42They did not keep in mind the work of his hand, or the day when he took them from the power of their haters;
43How he had done his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan;
44So that their rivers were turned to blood, and they were not able to get drink from their streams.
45He sent different sorts of flies among them, poisoning their flesh; and frogs for their destruction.
46He gave the increase of their fields to worms, the fruits of their industry to the locusts.
47He sent ice for the destruction of their vines; their trees were damaged by the bitter cold.
48Ice was rained down on their cattle; thunderstorms sent destruction among the flocks.
49He sent on them the heat of his wrath, his bitter disgust, letting loose evil angels among them.
50He let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.
51He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;
52But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.
53He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.
54And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;
55Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.
