Nehemiah 9:24-28

241So their sons entered and took possession of the land. And 2You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, And You handed them over to them, with their kings and the peoples of the land, To do with them 3as they desired.254They captured fortified cities and a 56fertile land. They took possession of 7houses full of every good thing, Carved out cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, Fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled and 8put on fat, And 9lived luxuriously in Your great goodness.

26“10But they became rebellious and revolted against You, And 11threw Your Law behind their backs And 12killed Your prophets who had 13admonished them In order to bring them back to You, And 14they committed great blasphemies.27Therefore You 15handed them over to their enemies who oppressed them, But when they cried out to You 16in the time of their distress, You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion You 17gave them 18people who saved them from the hand of their enemies.28But 19as 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 out again to You, You heard from heaven, And 20many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,
