Nehemiah 9:26-28
New King James Version
26 “Nevertheless they (A)were disobedient
And rebelled against You,
(B)Cast Your law behind their backs
And killed Your (C)prophets, who [a]testified against them
To turn them to Yourself;
And they worked great provocations.
27 (D)Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their enemies,
Who oppressed them;
And in the time of their trouble,
When they cried to You,
You (E)heard from heaven;
And according to Your abundant mercies
(F)You gave them deliverers who saved them
From the hand of their enemies.
28 “But after they had rest,
(G)They again did evil before You.
Therefore You left them in the hand of their enemies,
So that they had dominion over them;
Yet when they returned and cried out to You,
You heard from heaven;
And (H)many times You delivered them according to Your mercies,
