Nehemiah 9:27-31

27Therefore thou didst deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862, who distressedH6887 them: and in the timeH6256 of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 to thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and according to thy greatH7227 merciesH7356 thou gavestH5414 them deliverersH3467, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862. 28But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore thou leftestH5800 them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, so that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 to thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them according to thy merciesH7356;1 29And didst testifyH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 to thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doethH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085.2 30Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 over them, and didst testifyH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not listenH238: therefore thou gavestH5414 them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776.34 31Nevertheless for thy greatH7227 merciesH7356’ sake thou didstH6213 not utterly consumeH3617 them, nor forsakeH5800 them; for thou art a graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349 GodH410.
