Nehemiah 9:30-31

New King James Version

³⁰ Yet for many years You had patience with them,
And ^[a]testified ^(A)against them by Your Spirit ^(B)in Your prophets.
Yet they would not listen;
^(C)Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
³¹ Nevertheless in Your great mercy
^(D)You did not utterly consume them nor forsake them;
For You are God, gracious and merciful.
