Nehemiah 9:29-31

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁹ “and testified among them, so that You might bring them back to Your Law! But they behaved proudly and did not listen to Your Commandments, but sinned against Your Judgments (which a man should do and live in them) and pulled away the shoulder and were stiff-necked and would not hear!

³⁰ “Yet, You put up with them for many years, and testified among them by Your Spirit, by the hand of Your Prophets, but they would not hear! Therefore, You gave them into the hand of the people of the lands!

³¹ “Yet, because of Your great mercies, You have not consumed them or forsaken them! For You are a gracious and merciful God!
