Context of Psalms 78:32
30but they still wanted more. While the food was still in their mouths, 31the anger of God flared up against them. He killed their strongest men and slaughtered the best young men in Israel. In spite of all this, they continued to sin, and they no longer believed in his miracles. 33He brought their days to an end like a whisper in the wind. He brought their years to an end in terror. 34When he killed ⌞some of⌟ them, ⌞the rest⌟ searched for him. They turned from their sins and eagerly looked for God.
