Nehemiah 9:31-33

EasyEnglish Bible

³¹ But because you are very kind, you did not turn away from them or destroy them. You are a God who is very kind and you forgive people.

³² So we pray to you, our God. You are great and powerful. You continue to love your people as you have promised in your covenant with us. Please see how much trouble has come to us! Our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets and our ancestors and your people all belong to you. We have all had many great troubles since the time that the kings of Assyria attacked us. ³³ But when you punished us like that, you were right to do it. You have always been faithful. It is us who have done wicked things.
