Nehemiah 9 (kjv)

Now in the twenty^H6242 and fourth^H702 day^H3117 of this month^H2320 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 were assembled^H622 with fasting^H6685, and with sackclothes^H8242, and earth^H127 upon them.²And the seed^H2233 of Israel^H3478 separated^H914 themselves from all strangers^{H1121 H5236}, and stood^H5975 and confessed^H3034 their sins^H2403, and the iniquities^H5771 of their fathers^H1.³And they stood up^H6965 in their place^H5977, and read^H7121 in the book^H5612 of the law^H8451 of the LORD^H3068 their God^H430 one fourth part^H7243 of the day^H3117; and another fourth part^H7243 they confessed^H3034, and worshipped^H7812 the LORD^H3068 their God^H430.

⁴Then stood up^H6965 upon the stairs^H4608, of the Levites^H3881, Jeshua^H3442, and Bani^H1137, Kadmiel^H6934, Shebaniah^H7645, Bunni^H1138, Sherebiah^H8274, Bani^H1137, and Chenani^H3662, and cried^H2199 with a loud^H1419 voice^H6963 unto the LORD^H3068 their God^H430.⁵Then the Levites^H3881, Jeshua^H3442, and Kadmiel^H6934, Bani^H1137, Hashabniah^H2813, Sherebiah^H8274, Hodijah^H1941, Shebaniah^H7645, and Pethahiah^H6611, said^H559, Stand up^H6965 and bless^H1288 the LORD^H3068 your God^H430 for ever^H5769 and ever^H5769: and blessed^H1288 be thy glorious^H3519 name^H8034, which is exalted^H7311 above all blessing^H1293 and praise^H8416.⁶Thou, even thou, art LORD^H3068 alone; thou hast made^H6213 heaven^H8064, the heaven^H8064 of heavens^H8064, with all their host^H6635, the earth^H776, and all things that are therein, the seas^H3220, and all that is therein, and thou preservest^H2421 them all; and the host^H6635 of heaven^H8064 worshippeth^H7812 thee.⁷Thou art the LORD^H3068 the God^H430, who didst choose^H977 Abram^H87, and broughtest him forth^H3318 out of Ur^H218 of the Chaldees^H3778, and gavest^H7760 him the name^H8034 of Abraham^H85;⁸And foundest^H4672 his heart^H3824 faithful^H539 before^H6440 thee, and madest^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with him to give^H5414 the land^H776 of the Canaanites^H3669, the Hittites^H2850, the Amorites^H567, and the Perizzites^H6522, and the Jebusites^H2983, and the Girgashites^H1622, to give^H5414 it, I say, to his seed^H2233, and hast performed^H6965 thy words^H1697; for thou art righteous^H6662:⁹And didst see^H7200 the affliction^H6040 of our fathers^H1 in Egypt^H4714, and heardest^H8085 their cry^H2201 by the Red^H5488 sea^H3220;¹⁰And shewedst^H5414 signs^H226 and wonders^H4159 upon Pharaoh^H6547, and on all his servants^H5650, and on all the people^H5971 of his land^H776: for thou knewest^H3045 that they dealt proudly^H2102 against them. So didst thou get^H6213 thee a name^H8034, as it is this day^H3117.¹¹And thou didst divide^H1234 the sea^H3220 before^H6440 them, so that they went through^H5674 the midst^H8432 of the sea^H3220 on the dry land^H3004; and their persecutors^H7291 thou threwest^H7993 into the deeps^H4688, as a stone^H68 into the mighty^H5794 waters^H4325.¹²Moreover thou leddest^H5148 them in the day^H3119 by a cloudy^H6051 pillar^H5982; and in the night^H3915 by a pillar^H5982 of fire^H784, to give them light^H215 in the way^H1870 wherein they should go^H3212.¹³Thou camest down^H3381 also upon mount^H2022 Sinai^H5514, and spakest^H1696 with them from heaven^H8064, and gavest^H5414 them right^H3477 judgments^H4941, and true^H571 laws^H8451, good^H2896 statutes^H2706 and commandments^H4687:¹⁴And madest known^H3045 unto them thy holy^H6944 sabbath^H7676, and commandedst^H6680 them precepts^H4687, statutes^H2706, and laws^H8451, by the hand^H3027 of Moses^H4872 thy servant^H5650:¹⁵And gavest^H5414 them bread^H3899 from heaven^H8064 for their hunger^H7458, and broughtest forth^H3318 water^H4325 for them out of the rock^H5553 for their thirst^H6772, and promisedst^H559 them that they should go in^H935 to possess^H3423 the land^H776 which thou hadst sworn^{H3027 H5375} to give^H5414 them.¹⁶But they and our fathers^H1 dealt proudly^H2102, and hardened^H7185 their necks^H6203, and hearkened^H8085 not to thy commandments^H4687,¹⁷And refused^H3985 to obey^H8085, neither were mindful^H2142 of thy wonders^H6381 that thou didst^H6213 among them; but hardened^H7185 their necks^H6203, and in their rebellion^H4805 appointed^H5414 a captain^H7218 to return^H7725 to their bondage^H5659: but thou art a God^H433 ready to pardon^H5547, gracious^H2587 and merciful^H7349, slow^H750 to anger^H639, and of great^H7227 kindness^H2617, and forsookest^H5800 them not.¹⁸Yea, when they had made^H6213 them a molten^H4541 calf^H5695, and said^H559, This is thy God^H430 that brought thee up^H5927 out of Egypt^H4714, and had wrought^H6213 great^H1419 provocations^H5007;¹⁹Yet thou in thy manifold^H7227 mercies^H7356 forsookest^H5800 them not in the wilderness^H4057: the pillar^H5982 of the cloud^H6051 departed^H5493 not from them by day^H3119, to lead^H5148 them in the way^H1870; neither the pillar^H5982 of fire^H784 by night^H3915, to shew them light^H215, and the way^H1870 wherein they should go^H3212.²⁰Thou gavest^H5414 also thy good^H2896 spirit^H7307 to instruct^H7919 them, and withheldest^H4513 not thy manna^H4478 from their mouth^H6310, and gavest^H5414 them water^H4325 for their thirst^H6772.²¹Yea, forty^H705 years^H8141 didst thou sustain^H3557 them in the wilderness^H4057, so that they lacked^H2637 nothing; their clothes^H8008 waxed not old^H1086, and their feet^H7272 swelled^H1216 not.²²Moreover thou gavest^H5414 them kingdoms^H4467 and nations^H5971, and didst divide^H2505 them into corners^H6285: so they possessed^H3423 the land^H776 of Sihon^H5511, and the land^H776 of the king^H4428 of Heshbon^H2809, and the land^H776 of Og^H5747 king^H4428 of Bashan^H1316.²³Their children^H1121 also multipliedst^H7235 thou as the stars^H3556 of heaven^H8064, and broughtest^H935 them into the land^H776, concerning which thou hadst promised^H559 to their fathers^H1, that they should go in^H935 to possess^H3423 it.²⁴So the children^H1121 went in^H935 and possessed^H3423 the land^H776, and thou subduedst^H3665 before^H6440 them the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776, the Canaanites^H3669, and gavest^H5414 them into their hands^H3027, with their kings^H4428, and the people^H5971 of the land^H776, that they might do^H6213 with them as they would^H7522.²⁵And they took^H3920 strong^H1219 cities^H5892, and a fat^H8082 land^H127, and possessed^H3423 houses^H1004 full^H4392 of all goods^H2898, wells^H953 digged^H2672, vineyards^H3754, and oliveyards^H2132, and fruit^H3978 trees^H6086 in abundance^H7230: so they did eat^H398, and were filled^H7646, and became fat^H8080, and delighted^H5727 themselves in thy great^H1419 goodness^H2898.²⁶Nevertheless they were disobedient^H4784, and rebelled^H4775 against thee, and cast^H7993 thy law^H8451 behind^H310 their backs^H1458, and slew^H2026 thy prophets^H5030 which testified^H5749 against them to turn^H7725 them to thee, and they wrought^H6213 great^H1419 provocations^H5007.²⁷Therefore thou deliveredst^H5414 them into the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H6862, who vexed^H6887 them: and in the time^H6256 of their trouble^H6869, when they cried^H6817 unto thee, thou heardest^H8085 them from heaven^H8064; and according to thy manifold^H7227 mercies^H7356 thou gavest^H5414 them saviours^H3467, who saved^H3467 them out of the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H6862.²⁸But after they had rest^H5117, they did^H6213 evil^H7451 again^H7725 before^H6440 thee: therefore leftest^H5800 thou them in the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H341, so that they had the dominion^H7287 over them: yet when they returned^H7725, and cried^H2199 unto thee, thou heardest^H8085 them from heaven^H8064; and many^H7227 times^H6256 didst thou deliver^H5337 them according to thy mercies^H7356;²⁹And testifiedst^H5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them again^H7725 unto thy law^H8451: yet they dealt proudly^H2102, and hearkened^H8085 not unto thy commandments^H4687, but sinned^H2398 against thy judgments^H4941, (which if a man^H120 do^H6213, he shall live^H2421 in them;) and withdrew^{H5414 H5637} the shoulder^H3802, and hardened^H7185 their neck^H6203, and would not hear^H8085.³⁰Yet many^H7227 years^H8141 didst thou forbear^H4900 them, and testifiedst^H5749 against them by thy spirit^H7307 in^H3027 thy prophets^H5030: yet would they not give ear^H238: therefore gavest^H5414 thou them into the hand^H3027 of the people^H5971 of the lands^H776.³¹Nevertheless for thy great^H7227 mercies^H7356' sake thou didst^H6213 not utterly consume^H3617 them, nor forsake^H5800 them; for thou art a gracious^H2587 and merciful^H7349 God^H410.³²Now therefore, our God^H430, the great^H1419, the mighty^H1368, and the terrible^H3372 God^H410, who keepest^H8104 covenant^H1285 and mercy^H2617, let not all the trouble^H8513 seem little^H4591 before^H6440 thee, that hath come^H4672 upon us, on our kings^H4428, on our princes^H8269, and on our priests^H3548, and on our prophets^H5030, and on our fathers^H1, and on all thy people^H5971, since the time^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Assyria^H804 unto this day^H3117.³³Howbeit thou art just^H6662 in all that is brought^H935 upon us; for thou hast done^H6213 right^H571, but we have done wickedly^H7561:³⁴Neither have our kings^H4428, our princes^H8269, our priests^H3548, nor our fathers^H1, kept^H6213 thy law^H8451, nor hearkened^H7181 unto thy commandments^H4687 and thy testimonies^H5715, wherewith thou didst testify^H5749 against them.³⁵For they have not served^H5647 thee in their kingdom^H4438, and in thy great^H7227 goodness^H2898 that thou gavest^H5414 them, and in the large^H7342 and fat^H8082 land^H776 which thou gavest^H5414 before^H6440 them, neither turned^H7725 they from their wicked^H7451 works^H4611.³⁶Behold, we are servants^H5650 this day^H3117, and for the land^H776 that thou gavest^H5414 unto our fathers^H1 to eat^H398 the fruit^H6529 thereof and the good^H2898 thereof, behold, we are servants^H5650 in it:³⁷And it yieldeth much^H7235 increase^H8393 unto the kings^H4428 whom thou hast set^H5414 over us because of our sins^H2403: also they have dominion^H4910 over our bodies^H1472, and over our cattle^H929, at their pleasure^H7522, and we are in great^H1419 distress^H6869.³⁸And because of all this we make^H3772 a sure^H548 covenant, and write^H3789 it; and our princes^H8269, Levites^H3881, and priests^H3548, seal^H2856 unto it.
