Bible verse
God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
Psalm 78:31 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 78.
27 He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea.
28 He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
29 So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.
30 Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,
31 God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
33 So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.
34 When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.
35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
