10 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;
Forty years long was I grieved with `that' generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways:
and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations.
And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
