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.
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness!How often they caused him grief in the desert!
41 Again and again they tested God,and they pushed the Holy One of Israel to the limit.
42 They did not remember his power—the day he freed them from their oppressor,
43 when he performed his miraculous signs in Egypt,his wonders in the fields of Zoan.
