34. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God. 35. And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer. 36. Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 37. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 38. But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 39. For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

They returned. Verses 34–39 are a most touching picture of man’s sin and punishment, his temporary return to God, and God’s infinite compassion for His erring child.
