Nehemiah 9:29-30

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁹ You warned them to turn back to your law,
but they acted arrogantly
and would not obey your commands.
They sinned against your ordinances,
which a person will live by if he does them.^(A)
They stubbornly resisted,^[a]
stiffened their necks, and would not obey.
³⁰ You were patient with them for many years,
and your Spirit warned them through your prophets,^(B)
but they would not listen.
Therefore, you handed them over to the surrounding peoples.^(C)
