Nehemiah 9:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 (A)They captured fortified cities and fertile land;
they took possession of houses filled with all good things,
Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,
and fruit trees in abundance.
They ate and had their fill,
fattened and feasted on your great goodness.
26 (B)But they were contemptuous and rebelled against you:
they cast your law behind their backs.
They murdered your prophets
who bore witness against them to bring them back to you:
they were guilty of great insults.
27 (C)Therefore you gave them into the power of their enemies,
who oppressed them.
But in the time of their oppression they would cry out to you,
and you would hear them from heaven,
And according to your great mercy give them saviors
to deliver them from the power of their enemies.
Nehemiah 9:25-27
New International Version
25 They captured fortified cities and fertile land;(A) they took possession of houses filled with all kinds of good things,(B) wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees in abundance. They ate to the full and were well-nourished;(C) they reveled in your great goodness.(D)
26 “But they were disobedient and rebelled against you; they turned their backs on your law.(E) They killed(F) your prophets,(G) who had warned them in order to turn them back to you; they committed awful blasphemies.(H) 27 So you delivered them into the hands of their enemies,(I) who oppressed them. But when they were oppressed they cried out to you. From heaven you heard them, and in your great compassion(J) you gave them deliverers,(K) who rescued them from the hand of their enemies.
