Nehemiah 9:32-34

Contemporary English Version

^32 (A) Our God, you are powerful,
fearsome, and faithful,
    always true to your word.
So please keep in mind
    the terrible sufferings
of our people, kings, leaders,
    priests, and prophets,
from the time Assyria ruled
    until this very day.
³³ You have always been fair
when you punished us
    for our sins.

³⁴ Our kings and leaders,
    our priests and ancestors
have never obeyed your commands
    or heeded your warnings.
