Nehemiah 9:16 But they and our fathers1 dealt proudly,2102 and hardened7185 their neck,6203 and hearkened8085 not to thy commandments,4687 cr 17 and refused3985 to obey,8085 neither were mindful2142 of thy wonders6381 that thou didst6213 among them, but hardened7185 their neck,6203 and in their rebellion4805 appointed5414 a captain7218 to return7725 to their bondage.5659 But thou art a{Hebrew a God of forgivenesses.} God433 ready to pardon,5547 gracious2587 and merciful,7349 slow750 to anger,639 and abundant7227 in lovingkindness,2617 and forsookest them not.5800 cr 18 Yea, when they had made6213 them a molten4541 calf,5695 and said,559 This is thy God430 that brought thee up5927 out of Egypt,4714 and had wrought6213 great1419 provocations;5007 cr 19 yet thou in thy manifold7227 mercies7356 forsookest5800 them not in the wilderness:4057 the pillar5982 of cloud6051 departed5493 not from over them by day,3119 to lead5148 them in the way;1870 neither the pillar5982 of fire784 by night,3915 to show them light,215 and the way1870 wherein they should go.3212 cr 20 Thou gavest5414 also thy good2896 Spirit7307 to instruct7919 them, and withheldest4513 not thy manna4478 from their mouth,6310 and gavest5414 them water4325 for their thirst.6772 cr 21 Yea, forty705 years8141 didst thou sustain3557 them in the wilderness,4057 and they lacked2637 nothing; their clothes8008 waxed not old,1086 and their feet7272 swelled not.1216 cr 22 Moreover thou gavest5414 them kingdoms4467 and peoples,5971 which{Or, and didst distribute them into every corner} thou didst allot2505 after their portions:6285 so they possessed3423 the land776 of Sihon,5511 even the land776 of the king4428 of Heshbon,2809 and the land776 of Og5747 king4428 of Bashan.1316 cr 23 Their children1121 also multipliedst7235 thou as the stars3556 of heaven,8064 and broughtest935 them into the land776 concerning which thou didst say559 to their fathers,1 that they should go in935 to possess it.3423 cr 24 So the children1121 went in935 and possessed3423 the land,776 and thou subduedst3665 before6440 them the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 the Canaanites,3669 and gavest5414 them into their hands,3027 with their kings,4428 and the peoples5971 of the land,776 that they might do6213 with them as they would.7522 cr 25 And they took3920 fortified1219 cities,5892 and a fat8082 land,127 and possessed3423 houses1004 full4392 of all good things,2898 cisterns953 hewn2672 out, vineyards,3754 and oliveyards,2132 and fruit trees6086 in abundance:7230 so they did eat,398 and were filled,7646 and became fat,8080 and delighted5727 themselves in thy great1419 goodness.2898 cr

Nehemiah 9:26 Nevertheless they were disobedient,4784 and rebelled4775 against thee, and cast7993 thy law8451 behind310 their back,1458 and slew2026 thy prophets5030 that testified5749 against them to turn7725 them again unto thee, and they wrought6213 great1419 provocations.5007 cr 27 Therefore thou deliveredst5414 them into the hand3027 of their adversaries,6862 who distressed6887 them: and in the time6256 of their trouble,6869 when they cried6817 unto thee, thou heardest8085 from heaven;8064 and according to thy manifold7227 mercies7356 thou gavest5414 them saviours3467 who saved3467 them out of the hand3027 of their adversaries.6862 cr 28 But after they had rest,5117 they did6213 evil7451 again7725 before6440 thee; therefore leftest5800 thou them in the hand3027 of their enemies,341 so that they had the dominion7287 over them: yet when they returned,7725 and cried2199 unto thee, thou heardest8085 from heaven;8064 and many7227 times6256 didst thou deliver5337 them according to thy mercies,7356 cr 29 and testifiedst5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them again7725 unto thy law.8451 Yet they dealt proudly,2102 and hearkened8085 not unto thy commandments,4687 but sinned2398 against thine ordinances4941 (which if a man120 do,6213 he shall live2421 in them), and withdrew5414{Hebrew they gave a stubborn shoulder.} the shoulder,3802 and hardened7185 their neck,6203 and would not hear.8085 cr 30 Yet many7227 years8141 didst thou bear with them, and testifiedst5749 against them by thy Spirit7307 through3027 thy prophets:5030 yet would they not give5414 ear:238 therefore gavest5414 thou them into the hand3027 of the peoples5971 of the lands.776 cr 31 Nevertheless in thy manifold7227 mercies7356 thou didst6213 not make a full end3617 of them, nor forsake5800 them; for thou art a gracious2587 and merciful7349 God.410 cr
