34 When He killed them, then they (A)sought Him,
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.
36 But they (E)flattered Him with their mouth
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.

    that God Most High was their Redeemer.(C)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(D)
    lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(E) to him,
    they were not faithful to his covenant.

37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in 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.
