Psalm 78:31-33

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³¹ The wrath of God came upon them and slew the strongest and sturdiest of them and smote down Israel’s chosen youth.

³² In spite of all this, they sinned still more, for they believed not in (relied not on and adhered not to Him for) His wondrous works.

³³ Therefore their days He consumed like a breath [in emptiness, falsity, and futility] and their years in terror and sudden haste.
