Nehemiah 9:27-29

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁷ Therefore You ^(A)gave them into the hand of the ones who distressed them, and they afflicted them with distress,
But ^(B)at the time of their distress they cried to You,
And You listened from heaven, and according to Your abundant compassion
You ^(C)gave them saviors and they saved them from the hand of the ones that distressed them.
²⁸ But ^(D)as soon as they had rest, they returned to do evil before You;
Therefore You forsook them in the hand of their enemies, so they had dominion over them.
Then they returned and cried to You. And You listened from heaven,
And ^(E)many times You delivered them according to Your compassion,
²⁹ And ^(F)testified to them in order to turn them back to Your law.
Yet ^(G)they acted presumptuously and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your judgments,
By ^(H)which if a man does them, he shall live.
And they ^(I)gave a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.
