34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;

they eagerly turned to him again.

35 They remembered that God was their Rock,

that God Most High was their Redeemer.

36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,

lying to him with their tongues;

37 their hearts were not loyal to him,

they were not faithful to his covenant.

38 Yet he was merciful;

he forgave their iniquities

and did not destroy them.

Time after time he restrained his anger

and did not stir up his full wrath.

39 He remembered that they were but flesh,

a passing breeze that does not return.

34 When he killed them, they sought him;

they repented and sought God earnestly.

35 They remembered that God was their rock,

the Most High God their redeemer.

36 But they flattered him with their mouths;

they lied to him with their tongues.

37 Their heart was not steadfast toward him;

they were not faithful to his covenant.

38 Yet he, being compassionate,

atoned for their iniquity

and did not destroy them;

he restrained his anger often

and did not stir up all his wrath.

39 He remembered that they were but flesh,

a wind that passes and comes not again.

34 When he slew them, then they sought him:

And they returned and inquired early after God.

35 And they remembered that God was their rock,

And the high God their redeemer.

36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth,

And they lied unto him with their tongues.

37 For their heart was not right with him,

Neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

38 But 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.

39 For he remembered that they were but flesh;

A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

34 When God began killing them,

they finally sought him.

They repented and took God seriously.

35 Then they remembered that God was their rock,

that God Most High was their redeemer.

36 But all they gave him was lip service;

they lied to him with their tongues.

37 Their hearts were not loyal to him.

They did not keep his covenant.

38 Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins

and did not destroy them all.

Many times he held back his anger

and did not unleash his fury!

39 For he remembered that they were merely mortal,

gone like a breath of wind that never returns.

34 When He slew them, then they sought Him;

And they returned and sought earnestly for God.

35 Then they remembered that God was their rock,

And the Most High God their Redeemer.

36 Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth,

And they lied to Him with their tongue;

37 For their heart was not steadfast with Him,

Nor were they faithful in His covenant.

38 But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity,

And did not destroy them.

Yes, many a time He turned His anger away,

And did not stir up all His wrath;

39 For He remembered that they were but flesh,

A breath that passes away and does not come again.

34 Anytime he killed them, they would look to him for help;

they would come back to God and follow him.

35 They would remember that God was their Rock,

that God Most High had saved them.

36 But their words were false,

and their tongues lied to him.

37 Their hearts were not really loyal to God;

they did not keep his agreement.

38 Still God was merciful.

He forgave their sins

and did not destroy them.

Many times he held back his anger

and did not stir up all his anger.

39 He remembered that they were only human,

like a wind that blows and does not come back.

34 When he slew them, then they inquired after him;

And they returned and sought God earnestly.

35 And they remembered that God was their rock,

And the Most High God their redeemer.

36 But they flattered him with their mouth,

And lied unto him with their tongue.

37 For their heart was not right with him,

Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

38 But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not:

Yea, many a time turned he his anger away,

And did not stir up all his wrath.

39 And he remembered that they were but flesh,

A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

34 When he slew them, then they sought him, and returned and sought early after •God; 35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and •God, the Most High, their redeemer. 36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue; 37 For their heart was not firm toward him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 38 But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed them not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury: 39 And he remembered that they were flesh, a breath that passeth away and cometh not again.

34 When he killed ⸤some of⸥ them, ⸤the rest⸥ searched for him. 

They turned from their sins and eagerly looked for God. 

35 They remembered that God was their rock, 

that the Most High was their defender. 

36 They flattered him with their mouths 

and lied to him with their tongues. 

37 Their hearts were not loyal to him. 

They were not faithful to his promise. 

38 But he is compassionate. 

He forgave their sin. 

He did not destroy them. 

He restrained his anger many times. 

He did not display all of his fury. 

39 He remembered that they were only flesh and blood, 

a breeze that blows and does not return. 

34 When He killed some of them,

the rest began to seek Him;

they repented and searched for God.

35 They remembered that God was their rock,

the Most High God, their Redeemer.

36 But they deceived Him with their mouths,

they lied to Him with their tongues,

37 their hearts were insincere toward Him,

and they were unfaithful to His covenant.

38 Yet He was compassionate;

He atoned for their guilt

and did not destroy them.

He often turned His anger aside

and did not unleash all His wrath.

39 He remembered that they were only flesh,

a wind that passes and does not return.

34 When he killed them, they sought for him;

they repented and sought God earnestly.

35 They remembered that God was their rock,

the Most High God their redeemer.

36 But they flattered him with their mouths;

they lied to him with their tongues.

37 Their heart was not steadfast toward him;

they were not true to his covenant.

38 Yet he, being compassionate,

forgave their iniquity,

and did not destroy them;

often he restrained his anger,

and did not stir up all his wrath.

39 He remembered that they were but flesh,

a wind that passes and does not come again.

34 When he killed some of them, then they sought him,

and repented and earnestly sought God.

35 And they remembered that God was their rock,

and God Most High their redeemer.

36 But they enticed him with their mouth

and lied to him with their tongue.

37 For their heart was not steadfast with him,

nor were they faithful to his covenant.

38 But he was compassionate; he pardoned their guilt

and did not destroy them.

And many times he turned back his anger

and did not stir up all his wrath,

39 for he remembered that they were flesh,

a passing wind that does not return.

34 Every time God killed some of them, the others would look to him.

They gladly turned back to him again.

35 They remembered that God was their Rock.

They remembered that God Most High had set them free.

36 But they didn’t mean it when they praised him.

They lied to him when they spoke.

37 Their hearts were not true to him.

They weren’t faithful to the covenant he had made with them.

38 But he was full of tender love.

He forgave their sins

and didn’t destroy his people.

Time after time he held back his anger.

He didn’t let all of his burning anger blaze out.

39 He remembered that they were only human.

He remembered they were only a breath of air

that drifts by and doesn’t return.
