Nehemiah 9:26-35

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}

9:31

Nevertheless for thy great
<07227>

mercies
<07356>_'

sake thou didst
<06213> (8804)

not utterly consume
<03617>

them, nor forsake
<05800> (8804)

them; for thou [art] a gracious
<02587>

and merciful
<07349>

God
<0410>_.

9:32

Now therefore, our God
<0430>_,

the great
<01419>_,

the mighty
<01368>_,

and the terrible
<03372> (8737)

God
<0410>_,

who keepest
<08104> (8802)

covenant
<01285>

and mercy
<02617>_,

let not all the trouble
<08513>

seem little
<04591> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee, that hath come
<04672> (8804)

upon us, on our kings
<04428>_,

on our princes
<08269>_,

and on our priests
<03548>_,

and on our prophets
<05030>_,

and on our fathers
<01>_,

and on all thy people
<05971>_,

since the time
<03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{trouble: Heb. weariness} {that...: Heb. that hath found us}

9:33

Howbeit thou [art] just
<06662>

in all that is brought
<0935> (8802)

upon us; for thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

right
<0571>_,

but we have done wickedly
<07561> (8689)_:

9:34

Neither have our kings
<04428>_,

our princes
<08269>_,

our priests
<03548>_,

nor our fathers
<01>_,

kept
<06213> (8804)

thy law
<08451>_,

nor hearkened
<07181> (8689)

unto thy commandments
<04687>

and thy testimonies
<05715>_,

wherewith thou didst testify
<05749> (8689)

against them.

9:35

For they have not served
<05647> (8804)

thee in their kingdom
<04438>_,

and in thy great
<07227>

goodness
<02898>

that thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

them, and in the large
<07342>

and fat
<08082>

land
<0776>

which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

before
<06440>

them, neither turned
<07725> (8804)

they from their wicked
<07451>

works
<04611>_.
