Nehemiah 9:26-28

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁶ “^(A)But they became disobedient and rebelled against You,
And ^(B)cast Your law behind their backs
And ^(C)killed Your prophets who had ^(D)testified to them
So that they might return to You,
And ^(E)they ^[a]committed great ^[b]blasphemies.
²⁷ Therefore You ^(F)gave them into the hand of the ones who distressed them, and they afflicted them with distress,
But ^(G)at the time of their distress they cried to You,
And You listened from heaven, and according to Your abundant compassion
You ^(H)gave them saviors and they saved them from the hand of the ones that distressed them.
²⁸ But ^(I)as soon as they had rest, they returned to do evil before You;
Therefore You forsook them in the hand of their enemies, so they had dominion over them.
Then they returned and cried to You. And You listened from heaven,
And ^(J)many times You delivered them according to Your compassion,
