Nehemiah 9:25-27

Names of God Bible

²⁵ The Israelites captured fortified cities and a rich land.
They took possession of houses filled with all sorts of good things,
    cisterns, vineyards, olive trees,
        and plenty of fruit trees.
            So they ate and were satisfied and grew fat.
                They enjoyed the vast supply of good things you gave them.

²⁶ But they were defiant and rebelled against you.
They threw your teachings over their shoulders
    and killed your prophets who warned them to turn back to you.
        They committed outrageous sins.
²⁷ You handed them over to their enemies, who made them suffer.
    When they began to suffer, they cried to you.
You heard them from heaven.
You gave them saviors to rescue them from their enemies
    because of your endless compassion.
