Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting ,
and with sackcloth ,
and earth upon them .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:2 @
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners ,
and stood and confessed their sins ,
and the iniquities of their fathers .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:3 @
And they stood up in their place ,
and read in the book of the law of Jehovah their God a fourth part of the day ;
and another fourth part they confessed ,
and worshipped Jehovah their God .

Then stood up upon the stairs of the Levites ,
Jeshua ,
and Bani ,
Kadmiel ,
Shebaniah ,
Bunni ,
Sherebiah ,
Bani ,
and Chenani ,
and cried with a loud voice unto Jehovah their God .

Then the Levites ,
Jeshua ,
and Kadmiel ,
Bani ,
Hashabneiah ,
Sherebiah ,
Hodiah ,
Shebaniah ,
and Pethahiah ,
said ,
Stand up and bless Jehovah your God from everlasting to everlasting ;
and blessed be thy glorious name ,
which is exalted above all blessing and praise .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:6 @
Thou art Jehovah ,
even thou alone ;
thou hast made heaven ,
the heaven of heavens ,
with all their host ,
the earth and all things that are thereon ,
the seas and all that is in them ,
and thou preservest them all ;
and the host of heaven worshippeth thee .

Nehemiah:9:7 @
Thou art Jehovah the God ,
who didst choose Abram ,
and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees ,
and gavest him the name of Abraham ,
asv @
Nehemiah:9:8 @
and foundest his heart faithful before thee ,
and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite ,
the Hittite ,
the Amorite ,
and the Perizzite ,
and the Jebusite ,
and the Girgashite ,
to give it unto his seed ,
and hast performed thy words ;
for thou art righteous .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:9 @
And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt ,
and heardest their cry by the Red Sea ,
asv @
Nehemiah:9:10 @
and showedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh ,
and on all his servants ,
and on all the people of his land ;
for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them ,
and didst get thee a name ,
as it is this day .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:11 @
And thou didst divide the sea before them ,
so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land ;
and their pursuers thou didst cast into the depths ,
as a stone into the mighty waters .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:12 @
Moreover in a pillar of cloud thou leddest them by day ;
and in a pillar of fire by night ,
to give them light in the way wherein they should go .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:13 @
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai ,
and spakest with them from heaven ,
and gavest them right ordinances and true laws ,
good statutes and commandments ,
asv @
Nehemiah:9:14 @
and madest known unto them thy holy sabbath ,
and commandedst them commandments ,
and statutes ,
and a law ,
by Moses thy servant ,
asv @
Nehemiah:9:15 @
and gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger ,
and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst ,
and commandedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:16 @
But they and our fathers dealt proudly and hardened their neck ,
and hearkened not to thy commandments ,
asv @
Nehemiah:9:17 @
and refused to obey ,
neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them ,
but hardened their neck ,
and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage .
But thou art a God ready to pardon ,
gracious and merciful ,
slow to anger ,
and abundant in lovingkindness ,
and forsookest them not .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:18 @
Yea ,
when they had made them a molten calf ,
and said ,
This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt ,
and had wrought great provocations ;
asv @
Nehemiah:9:19 @
yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness :
the pillar of cloud departed not from over them by day ,
to lead them in the way ;
neither the pillar of fire by night ,
to show them light ,
and the way wherein they should go .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:20 @
Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them ,
and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth ,
and gavest them water for their thirst .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:21 @
Yea ,
forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness ,
and they lacked nothing ;
their clothes waxed not old ,
and their feet swelled not .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:22 @
Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and peoples ,
which thou didst allot after their portions :
so they possessed the land of Sihon ,
even the land of the king of Heshbon ,
and the land of Og king of Bashan .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:23 @
Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven ,
and broughtest them into the land concerning which thou didst say to their fathers ,
that they should go in to possess it .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:24 @
So the children went in and possessed the land ,
and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land ,
the Canaanites ,
and gavest them into their hands ,
with their kings ,
and the peoples of the land ,
that they might do with them as they would .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:25 @
And they took fortified cities ,
and a fat land ,
and possessed houses full of all good things ,
cisterns hewn out ,
vineyards ,
and oliveyards ,
and fruit-trees in abundance :
so they did eat ,
and were filled ,
and became fat ,
and delighted themselves in thy great goodness .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:26 @
Nevertheless they were disobedient ,
and rebelled against thee ,
and cast thy law behind their back ,
and slew thy prophets that testified against them to turn them again unto thee ,
and they wrought great provocations .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:27 @
Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their adversaries ,
who distressed them :
and in the time of their trouble ,
when they cried unto thee ,
thou heardest from heaven ;
and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:28 @
But after they had rest ,
they did evil again before thee ;
therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies ,
so that they had the dominion over them :
yet when they returned ,
and cried unto thee ,
thou heardest from heaven ;
and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies ,
asv @
Nehemiah:9:29 @
and testifiedst against them ,
that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law .
Yet they dealt proudly ,
and hearkened not unto thy commandments ,
but sinned against thine ordinances , (
which if a man do ,
he shall live in them ,)
and withdrew the shoulder ,
and hardened their neck ,
and would not hear .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:30 @
Yet many years didst thou bear with them ,
and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets :
yet would they not give ear :
therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the peoples of the lands .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:31 @
Nevertheless in thy manifold mercies thou didst not make a full end of them ,
nor forsake them ;
for thou art a gracious and merciful God .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:32 @
Now therefore ,
our God ,
the great ,
the mighty ,
and the terrible God ,
who keepest covenant and lovingkindness ,
let not all the travail seem little before thee ,
that hath come upon us ,
on our kings ,
on our princes ,
and on our priests ,
and on our prophets ,
and on our fathers ,
and on all thy people ,
since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:33 @
Howbeit thou art just in all that is come upon us ;
for thou hast dealt truly ,
but we have done wickedly ;
asv @
Nehemiah:9:34 @
neither have our kings ,
our princes ,
our priests ,
nor our fathers ,
kept thy law ,
nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies wherewith thou didst testify against them .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:35 @
For they have not served thee in their kingdom ,
and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them ,
and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them ,
neither turned they from their wicked works .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:36 @
Behold ,
we are servants this day ,
and as for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof ,
behold ,
we are servants in it .
asv @
Nehemiah:9:37 @
And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins :
also they have power over our bodies ,
and over our cattle ,
at their pleasure ,
and we are in great distress .
