Nehemiah 9:29-31
International Standard Version
Nehemiah 9:29-31
International Standard Version
29 You admonished them to return to your Law,
but they acted arrogantly,
and would not listen[a] to your commands.
They sinned against your regulations,
which if anyone obeys,
he will live by them.
They turned away,
being stubborn and stiff-necked,
and they did not listen.[b]
30 You were patient with them for many years,
warning them by your Spirit
through[c] your prophets.
But they would not listen,
so you turned them over
to the control of people in other[d] lands.
31 Nevertheless, in your great compassion
you did not completely destroy them
or abandon them,
because you are a God of grace
and you are merciful.

29 “You warned(A) them in order to turn them back to your law, but they became arrogant(B) and disobeyed your commands. They sinned against your ordinances, of which you said, ‘The person who obeys them will live by them.’(C) Stubbornly they turned their backs(D) on you, became stiff-necked(E) and refused to listen.(F) 30 For many years you were patient with them. By your Spirit you warned them through your prophets.(G) Yet they paid no attention, so you gave them into the hands of the neighboring peoples.(H) 31 But in your great mercy you did not put an end(I) to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful(J) God.
