Bible verse
When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.
Psalm 78:34 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 78.
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.
36 But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.
37 Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
38 And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.
