Nehemiah 9:31-33

International Children’s Bible

³¹But because your mercy is great, you did not kill them all.
You did not leave them.
You are a kind and merciful God.

³²“And so, our God, you are the great and mighty and wonderful God.
    You keep your agreement of love.
    Do not let all our trouble seem unimportant in your eyes.
This trouble has come to us, to our kings and to our leaders.
    It has come to our priests and prophets.
    It has come to our ancestors and all your people.
This trouble has come to us since the days of the kings of Assyria.
    And it has lasted until today.
³³You have been fair in everything that has happened to us.
    You have been loyal, but we have been wicked.
