Nehemiah 9:22-35

22And thou gavest them kingdomsH4467 and peoplesH5971, and didst divideH2505 them by countries; and they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, as well the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, as the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.

23And their children thou didst multiplyH7235 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and thou broughtest them into the landH776 concerningH413 which thou didst sayH559 to their fathersH1 that they should goH935 in to possessH3423 it.

24And the children wentH935 in and possessedH3423 the landH776; and thou subduedst before them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavest them into their handsH3027, both their kingsH4428 and the peoplesH5971 of the landH776, that they might do with them as they would.

25And they tookH3920 strong citiesH5892, and a fatH8080 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodH2898 things, wells digged, vineyardsH3754 and olive-gardens, and fruit treesH6086 in abundanceH7230. And they did eatH398 and were filled, and became fatH8080, and delighted themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898.

26But they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4784 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behind their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 who testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wrought greatH1419 provocations.

27And thou gavest them into the handH3027 of their oppressors, and they oppressed them; and in the timeH6256 of their distressH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardest them from the heavensH8064, and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their oppressors.

28But when they had restH5117, they did evilH7451 again before thee; and thou didst leaveH5800 them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and they had dominion over them; and again they criedH2199 unto thee, and thou heardest [them] from the heavensH8064, and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them, according to thy mercies.

29And thou testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bringH7725 them again unto thy lawH8451; but they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thine ordinancesH4941 (which if a manH120 do, he shall liveH2421 in them); and they withdrew the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085.

30And manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy SpiritH7307 through thy prophetsH5030; but they would not giveH5414 earH238: and thou gavest them into the handH3027 of the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776.

31Nevertheless for thy manifold mercies' sake, thou didst not makeH6213 a full end of them nor forsakeH5800 them; for thou art a graciousH2587 and merciful 1GodH410.

32And nowH6258, our 2GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terrible 3GodH430, who keepest covenantH1285 and loving-kindness, let not all the trouble seem littleH4591 before thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the daysH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.

33But thou art just in all that is comeH935 upon us; for thou hast actedH7561 according to truthH571, and we have done wickedlyH7561.

34And our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, and our fathersH1, have not performed thy lawH8451, nor hearkened unto thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, wherewith thou didst testify against them.

35And they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat landH776 that thou didst setH5414 before them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH5647.
