Nehemiah 9:26

9:26 “Nonetheless they grew disobedient and rebelled against you; they disregarded your law. ¹  They killed your prophets who had solemnly admonished them in order to cause them to return to you. They committed atrocious blasphemies.

Nehemiah 9:30

9:30 You prolonged your kindness ²  with them for many years, and you solemnly admonished them by your Spirit through your prophets. Still they paid no attention, ³  so you delivered them into the hands of the neighboring peoples. ⁴
