"How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert! "
— Psalms 78:40, American Standard Version
“How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!”
“How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!”
“How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and insulted him in the wastelands!”
“How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!”
“How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!”
For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.
But he, being merciful, forgave theiriniquity, and destroyedthemnot: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.
And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!
And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.
They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,
