habitation.

30 So they did eat and were well filled, for he gave them their own
desire: they were not disappointed of their lust.

31 But while the meat was yet in their mouths, the heavy wrath of
God came upon them, and slew the wealthiest of them: yea, and smote
down the chosen men that were in Israel.

32 But for all this they sinned yet more: and believed not his
wondrous works.

33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity: and their years
in trouble.

34 When he slew them, they sought him: and turned them early, and
inquired after God.

35 And they remembered that God was their strength: and that the
high God was their redeemer.

36 Nevertheless, they did but flatter him with their mouth: and
dissembled with him in their tongue.

37 For their heart was not whole with him: neither continued they
stedfast in his covenant.

38 But he was so merciful, that he forgave their misdeeds: and
destroyed them not.

39 Yea, many a time turned he his wrath away: and would not suffer
his whole displeasure to arise.

40 For he considered that they were but flesh: and that they were
even a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

41 Many a time did they provoke him in the wilderness: and grieved

43 They thought not of his hand: and of the day when he delivered

44 How he had wrought his miracles in Egypt: and his wonders in
the field of Zoan.

45 He turned their waters into blood: so that they might not drink
of the rivers.

46 He sent lice among them, and devoured them up: and frogs to
destroy them.

47 He gave their fruit unto the caterpillar: and their labour unto
the grasshopper.

48 He destroyed their vines with hail-stones: and their mulberry-trees
with the frost.

49 He smote their cattle also with hail-stones: and their flocks
with hot thunderbolts.

50 He cast upon them the furiousness of his wrath, anger, displeasure,
and trouble: and sent evil angels among them.

51 He made a way to his indignation, and spared not their soul
from death: but gave their life over to the pestilence;

52 And smote all the first-born in Egypt: the most principal and
mightiest in the dwellings of Ham.

53 But as for his own people, he led them forth like sheep: and
carried them in the wilderness like a flock.

54 He brought them out safely, that they should not fear:
