39 He remembered that they were but flesh,a passing breeze that does not return.
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wildernessand grieved him in the wasteland!
41 Again and again they put God to the test;they vexed the Holy One of Israel.
42 They did not remember his power –the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,
43 the day he displayed his signs in Egypt,his wonders in the region of Zoan.
44 He turned their river into blood;they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them,and frogs that devastated them.
