34If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and sought God earnestly,
35And they remember that God is their rock, And God Most High their redeemer.
36And—they deceive Him with their mouth, And with their tongue do lie to Him,
37And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.
38And He—the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
When he killed them, they sought him;
they repented and sought God earnestly.
They remembered that God was their rock,
the Most High God their redeemer.
But they flattered him with their mouths;
they lied to him with their tongues.
Their heart was not steadfast toward him;
they were not faithful to his covenant.
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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
They remembered that God was their Rock,
that God Most High was their Redeemer.
But then they would flatter him with their mouths,
lying to him with their tongues;
their hearts were not loyal to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
When he killed some of them,
the rest began to seek him;
they repented and searched for God.
They remembered that God was their rock,
the Most High God, their Redeemer.
But they deceived him with their mouths,
they lied to him with their tongues,
their hearts were insincere toward him,
and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
Yet he was compassionate;
he atoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them.
He often turned his anger aside
and did not unleash all his wrath.

NLTNew Living Translation
When God began killing them,
they finally sought him.
They repented and took God seriously.
Then they remembered that God was their rock,
that God Most High was their redeemer.
But all they gave him was lip service;
they lied to him with their tongues.
Their hearts were not loyal to him.
They did not keep his covenant.
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!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
When he killed some of them, then they sought him,
and repented and earnestly sought God.
And they remembered that God was their rock,
and God Most High their redeemer.
But they enticed him with their mouth
and lied to him with their tongue.
For their heart was not steadfast with him,
nor were they faithful to his covenant.
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,

KJV 1900King James Version
When he slew them, then they sought him:
And they returned and inquired early after God.
And they remembered that God was their rock,
And the high God their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth,
And they lied unto him with their tongues.
For their heart was not right with him,
Neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
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.
