Nehemiah 9:30-32

Common English Bible

³⁰ You were patient with them for many years
        and warned them by your spirit through the prophets.
But they wouldn’t listen,
        so you handed them over to the neighboring peoples.
³¹ In your great mercy, however, you didn’t make an end of them.
        Neither did you forsake them, because you are a merciful and compassionate God.

³² Now, our God, great and mighty and awesome God,
        you are the one who faithfully keeps the covenant.
Don’t treat lightly all of the hardship that has come upon us,
        upon our kings, our officials, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people,
        from the time of the kings of Assyria until today.
