Nehemiah 9:31-33
1599 Geneva Bible
31 Yet for thy great mercies thou hast not consumed them, neither forsaken them: for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
32 Now therefore our God, (A)thou great God, mighty and terrible, that keepest covenant and (B)mercy, let not all the affliction that hath come unto us, seem a little before thee, that is, to our Kings, to our Princes, and to our Priests, and to our Prophets, and to our fathers, and to all thy people since the time of the [a]kings of Assyria unto this day.
33 Surely thou art just in all that is come upon us: for thou hast [b]dealt truly, but we have done wickedly.
