Nehemiah 9:29-31

New King James Version

²⁹ And ^[a]testified against them,
That You might bring them back to Your law.
Yet they acted ^[b]proudly,
And did not heed Your commandments,
But sinned against Your judgments,
^(A)‘Which if a man does, he shall live by them.’
And they shrugged their shoulders,
^[c]Stiffened their necks,
And would not hear.
³⁰ Yet for many years You had patience with them,
And ^[d]testified ^(B)against them by Your Spirit ^(C)in Your prophets.
Yet they would not listen;
^(D)Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
³¹ Nevertheless in Your great mercy
^(E)You did not utterly consume them nor forsake them;
For You are God, gracious and merciful.
