Nehemiah 13:11

Then contended
<07378> (8799)

I with the rulers
<05461>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why is the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

forsaken
<05800> (8738)_?

And I gathered them together
<06908> (8762)_,

and set
<05975> (8686)

them in their place
<05977>_.

Nehemiah 13:17

Then I contended
<07378> (8799)

with the nobles
<02715>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What evil
<07451>

thing
<01697>

[is] this that ye do
<06213> (8802)_,

and profane
<02490> (8764)

the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_?

They that forsake
<05800> (8802)

the law
<08451>

praise
<01984> (8762)

the wicked
<07563>_:

but such as keep
<08104> (8802)

the law
<08451>

contend
<01624> (8691)

with them.
