Nehemiah 9:30-32

GOD’S WORD Translation

³⁰ You were patient with them for many years.
You warned them by your Spirit through your prophets.
However, they wouldn’t listen.
So you handed them over to the people in the surrounding nations.
³¹ But your compassion is endless.
You didn’t destroy them or abandon them.
You are a merciful and compassionate God.

³² And now, our God, you are the great, mighty, and awe-inspiring God.
You faithfully keep your promises.
Do not consider all the hardships
that we have been going through as unimportant.
The hardships have come to our kings, leaders, priests, prophets,
ancestors, and all your people
from the time of the kings of Assyria until now.
