Psalms 78:36-48

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.

³⁹So 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!

⁴¹And still again they tried God, and set bounds to the Holy One of Israel.

⁴²They remembered not His hand, nor the day when He redeemed them from the adversary.

⁴³How He set His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the field of Zoan;

⁴⁴And turned their rivers into blood, so that they could not drink their streams.

⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

⁴⁶He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust.

⁴⁷He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore-trees with frost.

⁴⁸He gave over their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to fiery bolts.
