31 God's wrath the fattest of them slew, And smote down Israel's choicest men.
32 Yet for all this they sinned still, Believed not for his wonders wrought;
33 Their days he then consumed in vain, Their years in trouble on them brought.
33 Their days he then consum'd in vain, Their years in trouble on them brought.
34 But earnestly they sought to him When he them slew, and used his rod; And then they seemed to return, Enquiring early after God.
34 But earnestly they sought to him When he them slew, and us'd his rod; And then they seemed to return, Enquiring early after God.
