Nehemiah 9:32-34

New Catholic Bible

³² “Therefore, O our God,
    you are great, mighty, and awesome,
    maintaining the covenant and your faithful love.
Do not treat lightly,
    as something of little account,
these hardships that have afflicted us,
    our kings, our princes, our priests,
    our prophets and all your people,
from the days of the kings of Assyria
    until this very day.
³³ You have treated us with justice
    in everything that has happened to us,
for you have remained faithful to us
    even though we have done wrong in your eyes.
³⁴ “Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our ancestors
    did not keep your law,
nor did they pay attention to your commandments
    or heed the warnings you gave them.
