[verse 34] But when he slew these wicked men, they back to God retir'd; And sought him very early then: and after God inquir'd. [verse 35] Remembring then that God alone was all the rock they had And that redeemer they had none, except the highest God. [verse 36] Yet did they ev'n all along but flatter with their mouth They li'd unto him with their tongue, and sought him not in truth. [verse 37] For still their hearts hypocrisie was manifestly shew'd: And that they walk't not stedfastly in cov'nant with their God. [verse 38] But he so full of clemency, their injuries forgot; And pardon'd their iniquity, and overthrew them not. Yea, many a time he pleas'd to turn, destruction from their path: And would not let his anger burn, nor stirr up all his wrath. [verse 39] For graciously he call'd to mind how that they were but flesh; And like a temporary wind, that doth not come afresh.

[verse 40] How often in the wilderness did they provoke him sore: And in the desarts did transgress, and grieve him more and more. [verse 41] Yea, they turn'd back, as always prone to tempt the Lord most high: And limited the holy one of Isra'l shamefully. [verse 42] They were unmindful of his hand, and of that famous day, When from the foe in forreign land he brought them safe away. [verse 43] What signs likewise by him were done, which were in Egypt shown, And mighty wonders many a one within the fields of Zoan. [verse 44] How he had turn'd the rivers there to dismal streams of blood: So that the thirsty passenger abhorr'd the chrystall flood.
