32 But for all this, they sinned yet more ♦︎
and put no faith in his wonderful works.
33 So he brought their days to an end like a breath ♦︎
and their years in sudden terror.
34 Whenever he slew them, they would seek him; ♦︎
they would repent and earnestly search for God.
35 They remembered that God was their rock ♦︎
and the Most High God their redeemer.
36 Yet they did but flatter him with their mouth ♦︎
and dissembled with their tongue.
37 Their heart was not steadfast towards him, ♦︎
neither were they faithful to his covenant.
38 But he was so merciful that he forgave their misdeeds
and did not destroy them; ♦︎
many a time he turned back his wrath
and did not suffer his whole displeasure to be roused.
39 For he remembered that they were but flesh, ♦︎
a wind that passes by and does not return.
