Psalms 78:31

Compare all

29 ^aSo they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them their own desire.

30 They were not¹ deprived of their craving;
But ^awhile their food was still in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came against them,
And slew the stoutest of them,
And struck down the choice men of Israel.

32 In spite of this ^athey still sinned,
And ^bdid not believe in His wondrous works.

33 ^aTherefore their days He consumed in futility,
And their years in fear.

34 ^aWhen He slew them, then they sought Him;
And they returned and sought earnestly for God.

35 Then they remembered that ^aGod was their rock,
And the Most High God ^btheir Redeemer.
