Psalm 78:37-39

Complete Jewish Bible

³⁷ for their hearts were not right with him,
and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
³⁸ Yet he, because he is full of compassion,
forgave their sin and did not destroy;
many times he turned away his anger
and didn’t rouse all his wrath.
³⁹ So he remembered that they were but flesh,
a wind that blows past and does not return.
