Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalm 78
³⁷ For their heart was not steadfast with Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
³⁸ But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, And did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away, And did not stir up all His wrath;
³⁹ For He remembered that they were but flesh, A breath that passes away and does not come again.
⁴⁰ How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert!
⁴¹ Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel.
⁴² They did not remember His power: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,
⁴³ When He worked His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
⁴⁴ Turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, that they could not drink.
⁴⁵ He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them, And frogs, which destroyed them.
⁴⁶ He also gave their crops to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust.
⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycamore trees with frost.
