Psalm 78:37-39
1599 Geneva Bible
37 For their [a]heart was not upright with him: neither were they faithful in his covenant.
38 Yet he being merciful, [b]forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not, but oft times called back his anger, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a wind that passeth and cometh not again.
