Nehemiah 9:29-31

New American Standard Bible

²⁹ And ^(A)admonished them in order to turn them back to Your Law.
Yet ^(B)they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances,
^(C)Which, if a person ^[a]follows them, then he will live by them.
And they ^[b](D)turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.
^30 (E)However, You remained patient with them for many years,
And ^(F)admonished them by ^(G)Your Spirit through Your prophets,
Yet they would not listen.
Therefore You handed them over to the peoples of the lands.
³¹ Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You ^(H)did not make an end of them or abandon them,
For You are ^(I)a gracious and compassionate God.
