Nehemiah 9:26-29 But they murmured and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and, thy prophets, they slew, who testified against them that they might turn them back unto thee,–

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ But they murmured and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and, thy prophets, they slew, who testified against them that they might turn them back unto thee,––and they wrought great insults. ²⁷ Therefore didst thou deliver them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them,––and, in the time of their distress, they made outcry unto thee, and, thou, out of the heavens, didst hear, and, according to thine abounding compassions, gavest them saviors, that they might save them out of the hand of their adversaries. ²⁸ But, as soon as they had rest, they again wrought wickedness before thee,––and thou didst leave them in the hand of their enemies, who bare rule over them, yet, when they again made outcry unto thee, thou, from the heavens, didst hear and didst deliver them according to thy compassions, many times; ²⁹ and didst testify against them, to bring them back unto thy law, yet, they, dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, and, against thy regulations, they sinned, the which––if any son of earth shall do––then shall he live by them,––and yielded a rebellious shoulder, and, their neck, they stiffened, and hearkened not.
