b'38 Yet he being merciful forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not, but oft times called back his anger, and did not stir up all his wrath.39 For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a wind that passeth and cometh not again.40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness? and grieve him in the desert?41 Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holy one of Israel.42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy,43 Nor him that set his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan,44 And turned their rivers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drink.45 He sent a swarm of flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.203'
