Nehemiah 9:26-28

Christian Standard Bible

²⁶ But they were disobedient and rebelled against you.
They flung your law behind their backs^(A)
and killed your prophets^(B)
who warned them
in order to turn them back to you.
They committed terrible blasphemies.
²⁷ So you handed them over to their enemies,
who oppressed them.
In their time of distress, they cried out to you,
and you heard from heaven.
In your abundant compassion
you gave them deliverers, who rescued them
from the power of their enemies.
²⁸ But as soon as they had relief,
they again did what was evil in your sight.
So you abandoned them to the power of their enemies,
who dominated them.
When they cried out to you again,
you heard from heaven and rescued them
many times in your compassion.^(C)
