Nehemiah 9:23-30

9:23

Their children
<01121>

also multipliedst
<07235> (8689)

thou as the stars
<03556>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and broughtest
<0935> (8686)

them into the land
<0776>_,

concerning which thou hadst promised
<0559> (8804)

to their fathers
<01>_,

that they should go in
<0935> (8800)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

[it].

9:24

So the children
<01121>

went in
<0935> (8799)

and possessed
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and thou subduedst
<03665> (8686)

before
<06440>

them the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and gavest
<05414> (8799)

them into their hands
<03027>_,

with their kings
<04428>_,

and the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

that they might do
<06213> (8800)

with them as they would
<07522>_.

{as they...: Heb. according to their will}

9:25

And they took
<03920> (8799)

strong
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>_,

and a fat
<08082>

land
<0127>_,

and possessed
<03423> (8799)

houses
<01004>

full
<04392>

of all goods
<02898>_,

wells
<0953>

digged
<02672> (8803)_,

vineyards
<03754>_,

and oliveyards
<02132>_,

and fruit
<03978>

trees
<06086>

in abundance
<07230>_:

so they did eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and were filled
<07646> (8799)_,

and became fat
<08080> (8686)_,

and delighted
<05727> (8691)

themselves in thy great
<01419>

goodness
<02898>_.

{wells: or, cisterns} {fruit...: Heb. tree of food}

9:26

Nevertheless they were disobedient
<04784> (8686)_,

and rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against thee, and cast
<07993> (8686)

thy law
<08451>

behind
<0310>

their backs
<01458>_,

and slew
<02026> (8804)

thy prophets
<05030>

which testified
<05749> (8689)

against them to turn
<07725> (8687)

them to thee, and they wrought
<06213> (8799)

great
<01419>

provocations
<05007>_.

9:27

Therefore thou deliveredst
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<06862>_,

who vexed
<06887> (8686)

them: and in the time
<06256>

of their trouble
<06869>_,

when they cried
<06817> (8799)

unto thee, thou heardest
<08085> (8799)

[them] from heaven
<08064>_;

and according to thy manifold
<07227>

mercies
<07356>

thou gavest
<05414> (8799)

them saviours
<03467> (8688)_,

who saved
<03467> (8686)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<06862>_.

9:28

But after they had rest
<05117> (8800)_,

they did
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

again
<07725> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee: therefore leftest
<05800> (8799)

thou them in the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

so that they had the dominion
<07287> (8799)

over them: yet when they returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and cried
<02199> (8799)

unto thee, thou heardest
<08085> (8799)

[them] from heaven
<08064>_;

and many
<07227>

times
<06256>

didst thou deliver
<05337> (8686)

them according to thy mercies
<07356>_;

{they did...: Heb. they returned to do evil}

9:29

And testifiedst
<05749> (8686)

against them, that thou mightest bring them again
<07725> (8687)

unto thy law
<08451>_:

yet they dealt proudly
<02102> (8689)_,

and hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto thy commandments
<04687>_,

but sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thy judgments
<04941>_,

(which if a man
<0120>

do
<06213> (8799)_,

he shall live
<02421> (8804)

in them;) and withdrew
<05414> (8799) <05637> (8802)

the shoulder
<03802>_,

and hardened
<07185> (8689)

their neck
<06203>_,

and would not hear
<08085> (8804)_.

{withdrew...: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}

9:30

Yet many
<07227>

years
<08141>

didst thou forbear
<04900> (8799)

them, and testifiedst
<05749> (8686)

against them by thy spirit
<07307>

in
<03027>

thy prophets
<05030>_:

yet would they not give ear
<0238> (8689)_:

therefore gavest
<05414> (8799)

thou them into the hand
<03027>

of the people
<05971>

of the lands
<0776>_.

{forbear...: Heb. protract over them} {in thy...: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
