³⁴ When He killed them, then they ^(A)sought Him,
And returned and searched ^(B)diligently for God;

¹⁶ O Lord, they sought You ^(A)in distress;
They ^[a]could only whisper a prayer,
Your chastening was upon them.

¹⁵ I will go away and return to My place
Until they ^[a](A)acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly ^(B)seek Me.
