Nehemiah 9:27-31

27Therefore You 1delivered them into the hand of their oppressors who oppressed them, But when they cried to You 2in the time of their distress, You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion You 3gave them deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors.28But 4as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You; Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them. When they cried again to You, You heard from heaven, And 5many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,29And 6admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law. Yet 7they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances, By 8which if a man observes them he shall live. And they 9 10turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.30 11However, You bore with them for many years, And 12admonished them by 13Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.31Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You 14did not make an end of them or forsake them, For You are 15a gracious and compassionate God.
