078:038 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn't stir up all his wrath. 078:039 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn't come again. 078:040 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert! 078:041 They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel. 078:042 They didn't remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; 078:043 how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan, 078:044 he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink. 078:045 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 078:046 He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust. 078:047 He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost. 078:048 He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 078:049 He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil. 078:050 He made a path for his anger. He didn't spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence, 078:051 and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham. 078:052 But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 078:053 He led them safely, so that they weren't afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 078:054 He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken. 078:055 He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 078:056 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn't keep his testimonies; 078:057 but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers.
