Nehemiah 9:31-32  New English Translation

³¹ However, due to your abundant mercy you did not do away with them altogether; you did not abandon them. For you are a merciful and compassionate God.

³² “So now, our God—the great, powerful, and awesome God, who keeps covenant fidelity^[a]—do not regard as inconsequential^[b] all the hardship that has befallen us—our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people—from the days of the kings of Assyria until this very day.
