Nehemiah 9:22-29
22You also gaveH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and peoplesH5971, And allottedH2505 them to them as a 1boundaryH6285. 2They tookH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 of SihonH5511 3the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 And the landH776 of OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316.23You madeH7235 their sonsH1121 as numerousH7235 as 4the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, And You broughtH935 them into the landH776 WhichH834 You had toldH559 their fathersH1 to enterH935 and possessH3423.245So their sonsH1121 enteredH935 and tookH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776. And 6You subduedH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, And You handedH5414H3027 them overH514 to them, with their kingsH4428 and the peoplesH5971 of the landH776, To doH6213 with them 7as they desiredH7522.258They capturedH3920 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 and a 910fertileH8082 landH127. They tookH3423 possessionH3423 of 11housesH1004 fullH4392 of everyH3605 goodH2898 thingH2898, CarvedH2672 outH2672 cisternsH953, vineyardsH3754, oliveH2132 grovesH2132, FruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230. So they ateH398, were filledH7646 and 12putH8080 onH8080 fatH8080, And 13livedH5727 luxuriouslyH5727 in Your greatH1419 goodnessH2898.
26“14But they becameH4784 rebelliousH4784 and revoltedH4775 against You, And 15threwH7993 Your LawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458 And 16killedH2026 Your prophetsH5030 whoH834 had 17admonishedH5749 them In order to bringH7725 them backH7725 to You, And 18they committedH6213 greatH1419 blasphemiesH5007.27Therefore You 19handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to their enemiesH6862 who oppressedH6887 them, But when they criedH6817 outH6817 to You 20in the timeH6256 of their distressH6869, You heardH8085 from heavenH8064, and according to Your greatH7227 compassionH7356 You 21gaveH5414 them 22peopleH3467 who savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862.28But 23as soon as they hadH5117 restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 You; Therefore You abandonedH5800 them to the handH3027 of their enemiesH340, so that they ruledH7287 over them. When they criedH2199 outH2199 againH7725 to You, You heardH8085 from heavenH8064, And 24manyH7227 timesH6256 You rescuedH5337 them according to Your compassionH7356,29And 25admonishedH5749 them in order to turnH7725 them backH7725 to Your LawH8451. Yet 26they actedH2102 arrogantlyH2102 and did not listenH8085 to Your commandmentsH4687 but sinnedH2398 against Your ordinancesH4941, 27WhichH834, if a personH120 28followsH6213 them, then he will liveH2421 by them. And they 2930turnedH5414 a stubbornH5637 shoulderH3802 and stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not listenH8085.
