Nehemiah 9:30

Israel's Rebellion

²⁹ You warned them to turn back to Your law,
but they acted arrogantly
and would not obey Your commands.
They sinned against Your ordinances,
which a person will live by if he does them.
They stubbornly resisted,
stiffened their necks, and would not obey.
³⁰ You were patient with them for many years,
and Your Spirit warned them through Your prophets,
but they would not listen.
Therefore, You handed them over to the surrounding peoples.
³¹ However, in Your abundant compassion,
You did not destroy them or abandon them,
for You are a gracious and compassionate God.
