Psalms 78:31 in Context — Psalms 78

29 Y comieron, y hartáronse mucho: cumplióles pues su deseo.

30 No habían quitado de sí su deseo, aun estaba su vianda en su boca,

31 Cuando vino sobre ellos el furor de Dios, y mató los más robustos de ellos, y derribó los escogidos de Israel.

32 Con todo esto pecaron aún, y no dieron crédito á sus maravillas.

33 Consumió por tanto en nada sus días, y sus años en la tribulación.
