Nehemiah 9:26-29

26 a“Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against you band cast your law behind their back cand killed your prophets, who dhad warned them in order to turn them back to you, eand they committed great blasphemies. 27 fTherefore you gave them into the hand of their enemies, who made them suffer. gAnd in the time of their suffering they cried out to you and you heard them from heaven, and according to your great mercies you gave them hsaviors who saved them from the hand of their enemies. 28 iBut after they had rest they did evil again before you, and you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them. Yet when they turned and cried to you, you heard from heaven, jand many times you delivered them according to your mercies. 29 kAnd you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet lthey acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments, but sinned against your rules, mwhich if a person does them, he shall live by them, nand they turned a stubborn shoulder oand stiffened their neck and would not obey.
