Psalms 95:10

Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation, and said, It [is] a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

Forty {H705} years {H8141} long was I grieved {H6962} with this generation {H1755}, and said {H559}, It is a people {H5971} that do err {H8582} in their heart {H3824}, and they have not known {H3045} my ways {H1870}:

For forty years I loathed that generation; I said, 'This is a people whose hearts go astray, they don't understand how I do things.'

For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known 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:
