35 And they remembered that God was their (A)rock,
And the Most High God their (B)Redeemer.
36 But they (C)flattered Him with their mouth
And (D)lied to Him with their tongue.
37 For their heart was not (E)steadfast toward Him,
Nor were they faithful with His covenant.
38 But He, being (F)compassionate, [a](G)forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them;
And often He [b](H)restrained His anger
And did not stir up all His wrath.
39 So (I)He remembered that they were only (J)flesh,
A [c](K)wind that passes and does not return.
