NASB
"When He killed them, then they sought Him, And returned and searched diligently for God;"
— Psalms 78:34, NASB
“When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.”
“When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly. ”
“When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.”
“When he struck them down, they sought his favor; they turned back and longed for God.”
“When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;”
“When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.”
The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their stoutest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.
In spite of all this they still sinned And did not believe in His wonderful works.
So He brought their days to an end in futility And their years in sudden terror.
When He killed them, then they sought Him, And returned and searched diligently for God;
And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer.
But they deceived Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.
For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
