Nehemiah 9:27-31

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.
