Nehemiah 9:29-35

ECB(i) 29 and witnessed against them to return them to your torah: and they seethe and hearken not to your misvoth; but sin against your judgments - which if a human work, he lives in them; and they gave a revolting shoulder and hardened their neck and hearkened not: 30 and for many years you draw them and witness against them by your Spirit in the hand of your prophets; and they hearkened not: so you gave them into the hand of the people of the lands. 31 and for sake of your great mercies you neither fully worked them over, nor forsook them; for you are a charismatic and merciful El. 32 And now, our Elohim El - the great, the mighty and the awesome - who guards covenant and mercy, diminish not from your face all the travail that found us - on our sovereigns, on our governors and on our priests and on our prophets and on our fathers and on all your people since the day of the sovereigns of Ashshur to this day. 33 And you are just in all you bring on us; for you work true but we have done wickedly: 34 and our sovereigns, our governors, our priests, or our fathers, neither work your torah, nor hearken to your misvoth and your witnesses which you witness against them: 35 for they neither serve you in their sovereigndom and in your great goodness that you give them; and in the large and fat land you give at their face, nor turn they from their evil exploits.
