Bible verse
How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
Psalm 78:40 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 78.
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.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
40 How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
41 Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42 They did not remember His power—the day He redeemed them from the adversary,
43 when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
44 He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.
