And they returned and searched (B)diligently for God;
35 And they remembered that God was their (C)rock,
And the Most High God their (D)Redeemer.

And (F)lied to Him with their tongue.
37 For their heart was not (G)steadfast toward Him,
Nor were they faithful with His covenant.

37 their hearts were not loyal(E) to him,
    they were not faithful to his covenant.

And like dew which [a]soon disappears,
Like (B)chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor,
And like (C)smoke from a chimney.
