Nehemiah 9:32-34

New Century Version

³² “And so, our God, you are the great and mighty and wonderful God.
    You keep your agreement of love.
    Do not let all our trouble seem unimportant to you.
This trouble has come to us, to our kings and our leaders,
    to our priests and prophets,
    to our ancestors and all your people
from the days of the kings of Assyria until today.
³³ You have been fair in everything that has happened to us;
    you have been loyal, but we have been wicked.
³⁴ Our kings, leaders, priests, and ancestors did not obey your teachings;
    they did not pay attention to the commands and warnings you gave them.
