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

36But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue.

37For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

38But 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.

39And 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 they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.
