Nehemiah 9:29-31
New Catholic Bible
Nehemiah 9:29-31
New Catholic Bible
29 You solemnly warned them
in order to bring them back to your law.
However, they became arrogant
and refused to obey your commandments,
and they sinned against your ordinances
whose observance would bring life
to those who keep them.
Rather they stubbornly turned aside,
and in their obstinacy they refused to obey.
30 “You were patient with them for many years
and warned them by your spirit
through the prophets.
However, when they continued to refuse to listen,
you put them at the mercy
of the people of other lands.
31 Yet even so, because of your great compassion,
you did not completely destroy them,
nor did you forsake them,
for you are a gracious and merciful God.

Nehemiah 9:29-31
New International Version
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.
