Nehemiah 9:2-37

KJV_Strongs(i)
  2 H2233 And the seed H3478 of Israel H914 separated [H8735]   H1121 themselves from all strangers H5236   H5975 , and stood [H8799]   H3034 and confessed [H8691]   H2403 their sins H5771 , and the iniquities H1 of their fathers.
  3 H6965 And they stood up [H8799]   H5977 in their place H7121 , and read [H8799]   H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H3068 of the LORD H430 their God H7243 one fourth part H3117 of the day H7243 ; and another fourth part H3034 they confessed [H8693]   H7812 , and worshipped [H8693]   H3068 the LORD H430 their God.
  4 H6965 Then stood up [H8799]   H4608 upon the stairs H3881 , of the Levites H3442 , Jeshua H1137 , and Bani H6934 , Kadmiel H7645 , Shebaniah H1138 , Bunni H8274 , Sherebiah H1137 , Bani H3662 , and Chenani H2199 , and cried [H8799]   H1419 with a loud H6963 voice H3068 unto the LORD H430 their God.
  5 H3881 Then the Levites H3442 , Jeshua H6934 , and Kadmiel H1137 , Bani H2813 , Hashabniah H8274 , Sherebiah H1941 , Hodijah H7645 , Shebaniah H6611 , and Pethahiah H559 , said [H8799]   H6965 , Stand up [H8798]   H1288 and bless [H8761]   H3068 the LORD H430 your God H5769 for ever H5769 and ever H1288 : and blessed [H8762]   H3519 be thy glorious H8034 name H7311 , which is exalted [H8784]   H1293 above all blessing H8416 and praise.
  6 H3068 Thou, even thou, art LORD H6213 alone; thou hast made [H8804]   H8064 heaven H8064 , the heaven H8064 of heavens H6635 , with all their host H776 , the earth H3220 , and all things that are therein, the seas H2421 , and all that is therein, and thou preservest [H8764]   H6635 them all; and the host H8064 of heaven H7812 worshippeth [H8693]   thee.
  7 H3068 Thou art the LORD H430 the God H977 , who didst choose [H8804]   H87 Abram H3318 , and broughtest him forth [H8689]   H218 out of Ur H3778 of the Chaldees H7760 , and gavest [H8804]   H8034 him the name H85 of Abraham;
  8 H4672 And foundest [H8804]   H3824 his heart H539 faithful [H8737]   H6440 before H3772 thee, and madest [H8800]   H1285 a covenant H5414 with him to give [H8800]   H776 the land H3669 of the Canaanites H2850 , the Hittites H567 , the Amorites H6522 , and the Perizzites H2983 , and the Jebusites H1622 , and the Girgashites H5414 , to give [H8800]   H2233 it, I say, to his seed H6965 , and hast performed [H8686]   H1697 thy words H6662 ; for thou art righteous:
  9 H7200 And didst see [H8799]   H6040 the affliction H1 of our fathers H4714 in Egypt H8085 , and heardest [H8804]   H2201 their cry H5488 by the Red H3220 sea;
  10 H5414 And shewedst [H8799]   H226 signs H4159 and wonders H6547 upon Pharaoh H5650 , and on all his servants H5971 , and on all the people H776 of his land H3045 : for thou knewest [H8804]   H2102 that they dealt proudly [H8689]   H6213 against them. So didst thou get [H8799]   H8034 thee a name H3117 , as it is this day.
  11 H1234 And thou didst divide [H8804]   H3220 the sea H6440 before H5674 them, so that they went through [H8799]   H8432 the midst H3220 of the sea H3004 on the dry land H7291 ; and their persecutors [H8802]   H7993 thou threwest [H8689]   H4688 into the deeps H68 , as a stone H5794 into the mighty H4325 waters.
  12 H5148 Moreover thou leddest [H8689]   H3119 them in the day H6051 by a cloudy H5982 pillar H3915 ; and in the night H5982 by a pillar H784 of fire H215 , to give them light [H8687]   H1870 in the way H3212 wherein they should go [H8799]  .
  13 H3381 Thou camest down [H8804]   H2022 also upon mount H5514 Sinai H1696 , and spakest [H8763]   H8064 with them from heaven H5414 , and gavest [H8799]   H3477 them right H4941 judgments H571 , and true H8451 laws H2896 , good H2706 statutes H4687 and commandments:
  14 H3045 And madest known [H8689]   H6944 unto them thy holy H7676 sabbath H6680 , and commandedst [H8765]   H4687 them precepts H2706 , statutes H8451 , and laws H3027 , by the hand H4872 of Moses H5650 thy servant:
  15 H5414 And gavest [H8804]   H3899 them bread H8064 from heaven H7458 for their hunger H3318 , and broughtest forth [H8689]   H4325 water H5553 for them out of the rock H6772 for their thirst H559 , and promisedst [H8799]   H935 them that they should go in [H8800]   H3423 to possess [H8800]   H776 the land H3027 which thou hadst sworn H5375   [H8804]   H5414 to give [H8800]   them.
  16 H1 But they and our fathers H2102 dealt proudly [H8689]   H7185 , and hardened [H8686]   H6203 their necks H8085 , and hearkened [H8804]   H4687 not to thy commandments,
  17 H3985 And refused [H8762]   H8085 to obey [H8800]   H2142 , neither were mindful [H8804]   H6381 of thy wonders [H8737]   H6213 that thou didst [H8804]   H7185 among them; but hardened [H8686]   H6203 their necks H4805 , and in their rebellion H5414 appointed [H8799]   H7218 a captain H7725 to return [H8800]   H5659 to their bondage H433 : but thou art a God H5547 ready to pardon H2587 , gracious H7349 and merciful H750 , slow H639 to anger H7227 , and of great H2617 kindness H5800 , and forsookest [H8804]   them not.
  18 H6213 Yea, when they had made [H8804]   H4541 them a molten H5695 calf H559 , and said [H8799]   H430 , This is thy God H5927 that brought thee up [H8689]   H4714 out of Egypt H6213 , and had wrought [H8799]   H1419 great H5007 provocations;
  19 H7227 Yet thou in thy manifold H7356 mercies H5800 forsookest [H8804]   H4057 them not in the wilderness H5982 : the pillar H6051 of the cloud H5493 departed [H8804]   H3119 not from them by day H5148 , to lead [H8687]   H1870 them in the way H5982 ; neither the pillar H784 of fire H3915 by night H215 , to shew them light [H8687]   H1870 , and the way H3212 wherein they should go [H8799]  .
  20 H5414 Thou gavest [H8804]   H2896 also thy good H7307 spirit H7919 to instruct [H8687]   H4513 them, and withheldest [H8804]   H4478 not thy manna H6310 from their mouth H5414 , and gavest [H8804]   H4325 them water H6772 for their thirst.
  21 H705 Yea, forty H8141 years H3557 didst thou sustain [H8773]   H4057 them in the wilderness H2637 , so that they lacked [H8804]   H8008 nothing; their clothes H1086 waxed not old [H8804]   H7272 , and their feet H1216 swelled [H8804]   not.
  22 H5414 Moreover thou gavest [H8799]   H4467 them kingdoms H5971 and nations H2505 , and didst divide [H8799]   H6285 them into corners H3423 : so they possessed [H8799]   H776 the land H5511 of Sihon H776 , and the land H4428 of the king H2809 of Heshbon H776 , and the land H5747 of Og H4428 king H1316 of Bashan.
  23 H1121 Their children H7235 also multipliedst [H8689]   H3556 thou as the stars H8064 of heaven H935 , and broughtest [H8686]   H776 them into the land H559 , concerning which thou hadst promised [H8804]   H1 to their fathers H935 , that they should go in [H8800]   H3423 to possess [H8800]   it .
  24 H1121 So the children H935 went in [H8799]   H3423 and possessed [H8799]   H776 the land H3665 , and thou subduedst [H8686]   H6440 before H3427 them the inhabitants [H8802]   H776 of the land H3669 , the Canaanites H5414 , and gavest [H8799]   H3027 them into their hands H4428 , with their kings H5971 , and the people H776 of the land H6213 , that they might do [H8800]   H7522 with them as they would.
  25 H3920 And they took [H8799]   H1219 strong [H8803]   H5892 cities H8082 , and a fat H127 land H3423 , and possessed [H8799]   H1004 houses H4392 full H2898 of all goods H953 , wells H2672 digged [H8803]   H3754 , vineyards H2132 , and oliveyards H3978 , and fruit H6086 trees H7230 in abundance H398 : so they did eat [H8799]   H7646 , and were filled [H8799]   H8080 , and became fat [H8686]   H5727 , and delighted [H8691]   H1419 themselves in thy great H2898 goodness.
  26 H4784 Nevertheless they were disobedient [H8686]   H4775 , and rebelled [H8799]   H7993 against thee, and cast [H8686]   H8451 thy law H310 behind H1458 their backs H2026 , and slew [H8804]   H5030 thy prophets H5749 which testified [H8689]   H7725 against them to turn [H8687]   H6213 them to thee, and they wrought [H8799]   H1419 great H5007 provocations.
  27 H5414 Therefore thou deliveredst [H8799]   H3027 them into the hand H6862 of their enemies H6887 , who vexed [H8686]   H6256 them: and in the time H6869 of their trouble H6817 , when they cried [H8799]   H8085 unto thee, thou heardest [H8799]   H8064 them from heaven H7227 ; and according to thy manifold H7356 mercies H5414 thou gavest [H8799]   H3467 them saviours [H8688]   H3467 , who saved [H8686]   H3027 them out of the hand H6862 of their enemies.
  28 H5117 But after they had rest [H8800]   H6213 , they did [H8800]   H7451 evil H7725 again [H8799]   H6440 before H5800 thee: therefore leftest [H8799]   H3027 thou them in the hand H341 of their enemies [H8802]   H7287 , so that they had the dominion [H8799]   H7725 over them: yet when they returned [H8799]   H2199 , and cried [H8799]   H8085 unto thee, thou heardest [H8799]   H8064 them from heaven H7227 ; and many H6256 times H5337 didst thou deliver [H8686]   H7356 them according to thy mercies;
  29 H5749 And testifiedst [H8686]   H7725 against them, that thou mightest bring them again [H8687]   H8451 unto thy law H2102 : yet they dealt proudly [H8689]   H8085 , and hearkened [H8804]   H4687 not unto thy commandments H2398 , but sinned [H8804]   H4941 against thy judgments H120 , (which if a man H6213 do [H8799]   H2421 , he shall live [H8804]   H5414 in them;) and withdrew [H8799]   H5637   [H8802]   H3802 the shoulder H7185 , and hardened [H8689]   H6203 their neck H8085 , and would not hear [H8804]  .
  30 H7227 Yet many H8141 years H4900 didst thou forbear [H8799]   H5749 them, and testifiedst [H8686]   H7307 against them by thy spirit H3027 in H5030 thy prophets H238 : yet would they not give ear [H8689]   H5414 : therefore gavest [H8799]   H3027 thou them into the hand H5971 of the people H776 of the lands.
  31 H7227 Nevertheless for thy great H7356 mercies H6213 ' sake thou didst [H8804]   H3617 not utterly consume H5800 them, nor forsake [H8804]   H2587 them; for thou art a gracious H7349 and merciful H410 God.
  32 H430 Now therefore, our God H1419 , the great H1368 , the mighty H3372 , and the terrible [H8737]   H410 God H8104 , who keepest [H8802]   H1285 covenant H2617 and mercy H8513 , let not all the trouble H4591 seem little [H8799]   H6440 before H4672 thee, that hath come [H8804]   H4428 upon us, on our kings H8269 , on our princes H3548 , and on our priests H5030 , and on our prophets H1 , and on our fathers H5971 , and on all thy people H3117 , since the time H4428 of the kings H804 of Assyria H3117 unto this day.
  33 H6662 Howbeit thou art just H935 in all that is brought [H8802]   H6213 upon us; for thou hast done [H8804]   H571 right H7561 , but we have done wickedly [H8689]  :
  34 H4428 Neither have our kings H8269 , our princes H3548 , our priests H1 , nor our fathers H6213 , kept [H8804]   H8451 thy law H7181 , nor hearkened [H8689]   H4687 unto thy commandments H5715 and thy testimonies H5749 , wherewith thou didst testify [H8689]   against them.
  35 H5647 For they have not served [H8804]   H4438 thee in their kingdom H7227 , and in thy great H2898 goodness H5414 that thou gavest [H8804]   H7342 them, and in the large H8082 and fat H776 land H5414 which thou gavest [H8804]   H6440 before H7725 them, neither turned [H8804]   H7451 they from their wicked H4611 works.
  36 H5650 Behold, we are servants H3117 this day H776 , and for the land H5414 that thou gavest [H8804]   H1 unto our fathers H398 to eat [H8800]   H6529 the fruit H2898 thereof and the good H5650 thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
  37 H7235 And it yieldeth much [H8688]   H8393 increase H4428 unto the kings H5414 whom thou hast set [H8804]   H2403 over us because of our sins H4910 : also they have dominion [H8802]   H1472 over our bodies H929 , and over our cattle H7522 , at their pleasure H1419 , and we are in great H6869 distress.
ERV(i) 2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 3 And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God a fourth part of the day; and [another] fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God. 4 Then stood up upon the stairs of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, [and] Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God. 5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, [and] Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. 6 Thou art the LORD, even thou alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. 7 Then art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham; 8 and foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, even to give it unto his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous. 9 And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red Sea; 10 and shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them; and didst get thee a name, as it is this day. 11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their pursuers thou didst cast into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters. 12 Moreover thou leddest them in a pillar of cloud by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. 13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments: 14 and madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by the hand of Moses thy servant: 15 and gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commandedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst lifted up thine hand to give them. 16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their neck, and hearkened not to thy commandments, 17 and refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, and forsookest them not. 18 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; 19 yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go. 20 Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. 21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, [and] they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not. 22 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and peoples, which thou didst allot after their portions: so they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. 23 Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou didst say to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it. 24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. 25 And they took fenced cities, and a fat land and possessed houses full of good things, cisterns hewn out, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness. 26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them again unto thee, and they wrought great provocations. 27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries. 28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies; 29 and testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them,) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. 30 Yet many years didst thou bear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit through thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. 31 Nevertheless in thy manifold mercies thou didst not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God. 32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the travail seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers; and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. 33 Howbeit thou art just in all that is come upon us; for thou hast dealt truly, but we have done wickedly: 34 neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. 35 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. 36 Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it. 37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have power over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
