Nehemiah 9:30-31

30 (A)However, You remained patient with them for many years,
And (B)admonished them by (C)Your Spirit through Your prophets,
Yet they would not listen.
Therefore You handed them over to the peoples of the lands.
31 Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You (D)did not make an end of them or abandon them,
For You are (E)a gracious and compassionate God.

And did not stir up all His wrath.
