Nehemiah 9:27-37

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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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}
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)_:
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.
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>_.
Behold, we [are] servants
<05650>
this day
<03117>_,
and [for] the land
<0776>
that thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
unto our fathers
<01>
to eat
<0398> (8800)
the fruit
<06529>
thereof and the good
<02898>
thereof, behold, we [are] servants
<05650>
in it:
And it yieldeth much
<07235> (8688)
increase
<08393>
unto the kings
<04428>
whom thou hast set
<05414> (8804)
over us because of our sins
<02403>_:
also they have dominion
<04910> (8802)
over our bodies
<01472>_,
and over our cattle
<0929>_,
at their pleasure
<07522>_,
and we [are] in great
<01419>
distress
<06869>_.
