Psalm 78:36-38

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁶ Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouths and lied to Him with their tongues.

³⁷ For their hearts were not right or sincere with Him, neither were they faithful and steadfast to His covenant.^(A)

³⁸ But He, full of [merciful] compassion, forgave their iniquity and destroyed them not; yes, many a time He turned His anger away and did not stir up all His wrath and indignation.
