Nehemiah 9:29-35
29 aAnd you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet bthey acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments, but sinned against your rules, cwhich if a person does them, he shall live by them, dand they turned a stubborn shoulder eand stiffened their neck and would not obey. 30Many years fyou bore with them gand warned them hby your Spirit through your prophets. iYet they would not give ear. jTherefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. 31Nevertheless, kin your great mercies lyou did not make an end of them or forsake them, mfor you are a gracious and merciful God.32“Now, therefore, our God, nthe great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love, let not all the hardship seem little to you that has come upon us, upon our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and all your people, osince the time of the kings of Assyria until this day. 33 pYet you have been righteous in all that has come upon us, for you have dealt faithfully qand we have acted wickedly. 34Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law or paid attention to your commandments and your warnings that you gave them. 35Even in their own kingdom, rand amid your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and srich land that you set before them, tthey did not serve you or turn from their wicked works.
