Nehemiah 9:22-29
22Moreover thou gavest them kingdomsH4467 and peoplesH5971, which thou didst allotH5414 afterH776 their portions: soH5414 they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, evenH853 the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.
23Their childrenH1121 also multipliedst thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtest them intoH413 the landH776, concerning whichH834 thou didst sayH559 to their fathersH1, that they should goH935 in to possessH3423 it.
24SoH6213 the childrenH1121 wentH935 in and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedst beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavest them intoH935 their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peoplesH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they would.
25And they tookH3920 fenced citiesH5892, and a fatH8080 landH127 and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of goodH2898 things, cisternsH953 hewnH2672 outH3423, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyards, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: soH7230 they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and becameH7646 fatH8080, and delighted themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898.
26Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4784 againstH413 thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backH7725, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 whichH834 testifiedH5749 againstH413 them to turnH7725 them againH7725 unto thee, and they wrought greatH1419 provocations.
27Therefore thou deliveredst them intoH413 the handH3027 of their adversaries, who distressed them: and in the time of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardest from heavenH8064; and accordingH413 to thy manifold merciesH7356 thou gavest them saviours who savedH3467 them outH413 of the handH3027 of their adversaries.
28But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore leftest thou them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, soH6213 that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 unto thee, thou heardest from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them accordingH3027 to thy merciesH7356;
29and testifiedst againstH413 them, that thou mightest bringH7725 them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealtH2102 proudlyH2102, and hearkened notH3808 unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 againstH413 thy judgmentsH4941, (whichH834 ifH834 a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them,) and withdrewH7725 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would notH3808 hearH8085.
