Nehemiah 9:29-31

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁹ And ^(A)testified to them in order to turn them back to Your law.
Yet ^(B)they acted presumptuously and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your judgments,
By ^(C)which if a man does them, he shall live.
And they ^(D)gave a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.
^30 (E)However, You bore with them for many years,
And ^(F)testified to them by ^(G)Your Spirit by the hand of Your prophets,
Yet they would not give ear.
So You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
³¹ Nevertheless, in Your abundant compassion You ^(H)did not make a complete destruction of them or forsake them,
For You are ^(I)a gracious and compassionate God.
