“He remembered that they were but flesh,a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.”
Psalm 78:39 (WEB)
Context Reading
37For their heart was not right with him,neither were they faithful in his covenant. 38But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them.Yes, many times he turned his anger away,and didn’t stir up all his wrath. 39He remembered that they were but flesh,a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again. 40How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness,and grieved him in the desert! 41They turned again and tempted God,and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
