Nehemiah 9:27-37

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. 32Now therefore, our GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terribleH3372 GodH410, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617, let not all the troubleH8513 seem littleH4591 beforeH6440 thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the timeH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 to this dayH3117.56 33But thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561: 34Neither have our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, nor our fathersH1, keptH6213 thy lawH8451, nor hearkenedH7181 to thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, with which thou didst testifyH5749 against them. 35For they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavestH5414 them, and in the largeH7342 and richH8082 landH776 which thou gavestH5414 beforeH6440 them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH4611. 36Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 to our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 of it and the goodH2898 of it, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it: 37And it yieldeth muchH7235 increaseH8393 to the kingsH4428 whom thou hast setH5414 over us because of our sinsH2403: also they have dominionH4910 over our bodiesH1472, and over our cattleH929, at their pleasureH7522, and we are in greatH1419 distressH6869.
