Nehemiah 9

KJV

1  Now in the twenty⁶²⁴² and fourth⁷⁰² day³¹¹⁷ of this²⁰⁸⁸ month²³²⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were assembled⁶²² with fasting,⁶⁶⁸⁵ and with sackclothes,⁸²⁴² and earth¹²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ them.

2  And the seed²²³³ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ separated themselves⁹¹⁴ from all^{4480 3605} strangers,^{1121 5236} and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ and confessed^{3034 5921} their sins,²⁴⁰³ and the iniquities⁵⁷⁷¹ of their fathers.¹

3  And they stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ their place,⁵⁹⁷⁷ and read⁷¹²¹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God⁴³⁰ one fourth⁷²⁴³ part of the day;³¹¹⁷ and another fourth⁷²⁴³ part they confessed,³⁰³⁴ and worshiped⁷⁸¹² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God.⁴³⁰

4  Then stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ the stairs,⁴⁶⁰⁸ of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ Jeshua,³⁴⁴² and Bani,¹¹³⁷ Kadmiel,⁶⁹³⁴ Shebaniah,⁷⁶⁴⁵ Bunni,¹¹³⁸ Sherebiah,⁸²⁷⁴ Bani,¹¹³⁷ and Chenani,³⁶⁶² and cried²¹⁹⁹ with a loud¹⁴¹⁹ voice⁶⁹⁶³ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God.⁴³⁰

5  Then the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ Jeshua,³⁴⁴² and Kadmiel,⁶⁹³⁴ Bani,¹¹³⁷ Hashabniah,²⁸¹³ Sherebiah,⁸²⁷⁴ Hodijah,¹⁹⁴¹ Shebaniah,⁷⁶⁴⁵ and Pethahiah,⁶⁶¹¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Stand up⁶⁹⁶⁵ and bless^{1288 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ forever^{4480 5769} and⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ and blessed¹²⁸⁸ be thy glorious³⁵¹⁹ name,⁸⁰³⁴ which is exalted⁷³¹¹ above⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ blessing¹²⁹³ and praise.⁸⁴¹⁶

6  Thou,⁸⁵⁹ even thou,¹⁹³¹ art LORD³⁰⁶⁸ alone;⁹⁰⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast made^{6213 853} heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ with all³⁶⁰⁵ their host,⁶⁶³⁵ the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ things that⁸³⁴ are therein,⁵⁹²¹ the seas,³²²⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ is therein, and thou⁸⁵⁹ preservest^{2421 853} them all;³⁶⁰⁵ and the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ worshipeth⁷⁸¹² thee.

7  Thou⁸⁵⁹ art the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ the God,⁴³⁰ who⁸³⁴ didst choose⁹⁷⁷ Abram,⁸⁷ and broughtest him forth³³¹⁸ out of Ur^{4480 218} of the Chaldees,³⁷⁷⁸ and gavest⁷⁷⁶⁰ him the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Abraham;⁸⁵

8  And foundest^{4672 853} his heart³⁸²⁴ faithful⁵³⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and madest³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him to give^{5414 853} the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ and the Perizzites,⁶⁵²² and the Jebusites,²⁹⁸³ and the Girgashites,¹⁶²² to give⁵⁴¹⁴ it, I say, to his seed,²²³³ and hast performed^{6965 853} thy words;¹⁶⁹⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art righteous:⁶⁶⁶²

9  And didst see^{7200 853} the affliction⁶⁰⁴⁰ of our fathers¹ in Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and heardest⁸⁰⁸⁵ their cry²²⁰¹ by⁵⁹²¹ the Red⁵⁴⁸⁸ sea;³²²⁰

10  And showedst⁵⁴¹⁴ signs²²⁶ and wonders⁴¹⁵⁹ upon Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ and on all³⁶⁰⁵ his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and on all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of his land:⁷⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou knewest³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ they dealt proudly²¹⁰² against⁵⁹²¹ them. So didst thou get⁶²¹³ thee a name,⁸⁰³⁴ as it is this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

11  And thou didst divide¹²³⁴ the sea³²²⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, so that they went through⁵⁶⁷⁴ the midst⁸⁴³² of the sea³²²⁰ on the dry land;³⁰⁰⁴ and their persecutors⁷²⁹¹ thou threwest⁷⁹⁹³ into the deeps,⁴⁶⁸⁸ as³⁶⁴⁴ a stone⁶⁸ into the mighty⁵⁷⁹⁴ waters.⁴³²⁵

12  Moreover thou leddest⁵¹⁴⁸ them in the day³¹¹⁹ by a cloudy⁶⁰⁵¹ pillar;⁵⁹⁸² and in the night³⁹¹⁵ by a pillar⁵⁹⁸² of fire,⁷⁸⁴ to give them light²¹⁵ in ⁸⁵³ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ wherein⁸³⁴ they should go.¹⁹⁸⁰

13  Thou camest down³³⁸¹ also upon⁵⁹²¹ mount²⁰²² Sinai,⁵⁵¹⁴ and spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ them from heaven,^{4480 8064} and gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ them right³⁴⁷⁷ judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ and true⁵⁷¹ laws,⁸⁴⁵¹ good²⁸⁹⁶ statutes²⁷⁰⁶ and commandments:⁴⁶⁸⁷

14  And madest known³⁰⁴⁵ unto them thy holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ sabbath,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and commandedst⁶⁶⁸⁰ them precepts,⁴⁶⁸⁷ statutes,²⁷⁰⁶ and laws,⁸⁴⁵¹ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² thy servant:⁵⁶⁵⁰

15  And gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ them bread³⁸⁹⁹ from heaven^{4480 8064} for their hunger,⁷⁴⁵⁸ and broughtest forth³³¹⁸ water⁴³²⁵ for them out of the rock^{4480 5553} for their thirst,⁶⁷⁷² and promisedst⁵⁵⁹ them that they should go in⁹³⁵ to possess^{3423 853} the land⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou hadst sworn^{5375 853 3027} to give⁵⁴¹⁴ them.

16  But they¹⁹⁹² and our fathers¹ dealt proudly,²¹⁰² and hardened^{7185 853} their necks,⁶²⁰³ and hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ to⁴¹³ thy commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷

17  And refused³⁹⁸⁵ to obey,⁸⁰⁸⁵ neither³⁸⁰⁸ were mindful²¹⁴² of thy wonders⁶³⁸¹ that⁸³⁴ thou didst⁶²¹³ among⁵⁹⁷³ them; but hardened^{7185 853} their necks,⁶²⁰³ and in their rebellion⁴⁸⁰⁵ appointed⁵⁴¹⁴ a captain⁷²¹⁸ to return⁷⁷²⁵ to their bondage:⁵⁶⁵⁹ but thou⁸⁵⁹ art a God⁴³³ ready to pardon,⁵⁵⁴⁷ gracious²⁵⁸⁷ and merciful,⁷³⁴⁹ slow⁷⁵⁰ to anger,⁶³⁹ and of great⁷²²⁷ kindness,²⁶¹⁷ and forsookest⁵⁸⁰⁰ them not.³⁸⁰⁸

18  Yea,⁶³⁷ when³⁵⁸⁸ they had made⁶²¹³ them a molten⁴⁵⁴¹ calf,⁵⁶⁹⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ This²⁰⁸⁸ is thy God⁴³⁰ that⁸³⁴ brought thee up⁵⁹²⁷ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and had wrought⁶²¹³ great¹⁴¹⁹ provocations;⁵⁰⁰⁷

19  Yet thou⁸⁵⁹ in thy manifold⁷²²⁷ mercies⁷³⁵⁶ forsookest⁵⁸⁰⁰ them not³⁸⁰⁸ in the wilderness:^{4057 853} the pillar⁵⁹⁸² of the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ departed⁵⁴⁹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ from^{4480 5921} them by day,³¹¹⁹ to lead⁵¹⁴⁸ them in the way;¹⁸⁷⁰ neither the pillar⁵⁹⁸² of fire⁷⁸⁴ by night,³⁹¹⁵ to show them light,²¹⁵ and the way¹⁸⁷⁰ wherein⁸³⁴ they should go.¹⁹⁸⁰

20  Thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ also thy good²⁸⁹⁶ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ to instruct⁷⁹¹⁹ them, and withheldest⁴⁵¹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ thy manna⁴⁴⁷⁸ from their mouth,^{4480 6310} and gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ them water⁴³²⁵ for their thirst.⁶⁷⁷²

21  Yea, forty⁷⁰⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ didst thou sustain³⁵⁵⁷ them in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ so that they lacked²⁶³⁷ nothing;³⁸⁰⁸ their clothes⁸⁰⁰⁸ waxed not old,^{1086 3808} and their feet⁷²⁷² swelled¹²¹⁶ not.³⁸⁰⁸

22  Moreover thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ them kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ and nations,⁵⁹⁷¹ and didst divide²⁵⁰⁵ them into corners:⁶²⁸⁵ so they possessed^{3423 853} the land⁷⁷⁶ of Sihon,⁵⁵¹¹ and the land⁷⁷⁶ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ and the land⁷⁷⁶ of Og⁵⁷⁴⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Bashan.¹³¹⁶

23  Their children¹¹²¹ also multipliedst⁷²³⁵ thou as the stars³⁵⁵⁶ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and broughtest⁹³⁵ them into⁴¹³ the land,⁷⁷⁶ concerning which⁸³⁴ thou hadst promised⁵⁵⁹ to their fathers,¹ that they should go in⁹³⁵ to possess³⁴²³ it.

24  So the children¹¹²¹ went in⁹³⁵ and possessed^{3423 853} the land,⁷⁷⁶ and thou subduedst³⁶⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them ⁸⁵³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ and gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ them into their hands,³⁰²⁷ with their kings,⁴⁴²⁸ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ that they might do⁶²¹³ with them as they would.⁷⁵²²

25  And they took³⁹²⁰ strong¹²¹⁹ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and a fat⁸⁰⁸² land,¹²⁷ and possessed³⁴²³ houses¹⁰⁰⁴ full⁴³⁹² of all³⁶⁰⁵ goods,²⁸⁹⁸ wells⁹⁵³ digged,²⁶⁷² vineyards,³⁷⁵⁴ and oliveyards,²¹³² and fruit³⁹⁷⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ in abundance:⁷²³⁰ so they did eat,³⁹⁸ and were filled,⁷⁶⁴⁶ and became fat,⁸⁰⁸⁰ and delighted themselves⁵⁷²⁷ in thy great¹⁴¹⁹ goodness.²⁸⁹⁸

26  Nevertheless they were disobedient,⁴⁷⁸⁴ and rebelled⁴⁷⁷⁵ against thee, and cast^{7993 853} thy law⁸⁴⁵¹ behind³¹⁰ their backs,¹⁴⁵⁸ and slew²⁰²⁶ thy prophets⁵⁰³⁰ which⁸³⁴ testified⁵⁷⁴⁹ against them to turn⁷⁷²⁵ them to⁴¹³ thee, and they wrought⁶²¹³ great¹⁴¹⁹ provocations.⁵⁰⁰⁷

27  Therefore thou deliveredst⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies,⁶⁸⁶² who vexed⁶⁸⁸⁷ them: and in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of their trouble,⁶⁸⁶⁹ when they cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto⁴¹³ thee, thou⁸⁵⁹ heardest⁸⁰⁸⁵ them from heaven;^{4480 8064} and according to thy manifold⁷²²⁷ mercies⁷³⁵⁶ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ them saviors,³⁴⁶⁷ who saved³⁴⁶⁷ them out of the hand^{4480 3027} of their enemies.⁶⁸⁶²

28  But after they had rest,⁵¹¹⁷ they did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ again⁷⁷²⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee: therefore leftest⁵⁸⁰⁰ thou them in the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies,³⁴¹ so that they had the dominion⁷²⁸⁷ over them: yet when they returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and cried²¹⁹⁹ unto thee, thou⁸⁵⁹ heardest⁸⁰⁸⁵ them from heaven;^{4480 8064} and many⁷²²⁷ times⁶²⁵⁶ didst thou deliver⁵³³⁷ them according to thy mercies;⁷³⁵⁶

29  And testifiedst⁵⁷⁴⁹ against them, that thou mightest bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ thy law:⁸⁴⁵¹ yet they¹⁹⁹² dealt proudly,²¹⁰² and hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto thy commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ but sinned²³⁹⁸ against thy judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ (which⁸³⁴ if a man¹²⁰ do,⁶²¹³ he shall live²⁴²¹ in them;) and withdrew^{5414 5637} the shoulder,³⁸⁰² and hardened⁷¹⁸⁵ their neck,⁶²⁰³ and would not³⁸⁰⁸ hear.⁸⁰⁸⁵

30  Yet many⁷²²⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ didst thou forbear^{4900 5921} them, and testifiedst⁵⁷⁴⁹ against them by thy spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in³⁰²⁷ thy prophets:⁵⁰³⁰ yet would they not³⁸⁰⁸ give ear:²³⁸ therefore gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ thou them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the lands.⁷⁷⁶

31  Nevertheless for thy great⁷²²⁷ mercies' ⁷³⁵⁶ sake thou didst not³⁸⁰⁸ utterly consume^{6213 3617} them, nor³⁸⁰⁸ forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ them; for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art a gracious²⁵⁸⁷ and merciful⁷³⁴⁹ God.⁴¹⁰

32  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, our God,⁴³⁰ the great,¹⁴¹⁹ the mighty,¹³⁶⁸ and the terrible³³⁷² God,⁴¹⁰ who keepest⁸¹⁰⁴ covenant¹²⁸⁵ and mercy,²⁶¹⁷ let not^{408 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the trouble⁸⁵¹³ seem little⁴⁵⁹¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, that⁸³⁴ hath come upon⁴⁶⁷² us, on our kings,⁴⁴²⁸ on our princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and on our priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and on our prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and on our fathers,¹ and on all³⁶⁰⁵ thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ since the time^{4480 3117} of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

33  Howbeit thou⁸⁵⁹ art just⁶⁶⁶² in⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ that is brought⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us; for³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast done⁶²¹³ right,⁵⁷¹ but we⁵⁸⁷ have done wickedly:⁷⁵⁶¹

34  Neither have our kings,⁴⁴²⁸ our princes,⁸²⁶⁹ our priests,³⁵⁴⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ our fathers,¹ kept⁶²¹³ thy law,⁸⁴⁵¹ nor³⁸⁰⁸ hearkened⁷¹⁸¹ unto⁴¹³ thy commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ and thy testimonies,⁵⁷¹⁵ wherewith⁸³⁴ thou didst testify⁵⁷⁴⁹ against them.

35  For they¹⁹⁹² have not³⁸⁰⁸ served⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee in their kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and in thy great⁷²²⁷ goodness²⁸⁹⁸ that⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ them, and in the large⁷³⁴² and fat⁸⁰⁸² land⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, neither³⁸⁰⁸ turned⁷⁷²⁵ they from their wicked⁷⁴⁵¹ works.^{4480 4611}

36  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ we⁵⁸⁷ are servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ this day,³¹¹⁷ and for the land⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto our fathers¹ to eat^{398 853} the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ thereof and the good²⁸⁹⁸ thereof, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ we⁵⁸⁷ are servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ in⁵⁹²¹ it:

37  And it yieldeth much⁷²³⁵ increase⁸³⁹³ unto the kings⁴⁴²⁸ whom⁸³⁴ thou hast set⁵⁴¹⁴ over⁵⁹²¹ us because of our sins:²⁴⁰³ also they have dominion⁴⁹¹⁰ over⁵⁹²¹ our bodies,¹⁴⁷² and over our cattle,⁹²⁹ at their pleasure,⁷⁵²² and we⁵⁸⁷ are in great¹⁴¹⁹ distress.⁶⁸⁶⁹

38  And because of all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ we⁵⁸⁷ make³⁷⁷² a sure⁵⁴⁸ covenant, and write³⁷⁸⁹ it; and our princes,⁸²⁶⁹ Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and priests,³⁵⁴⁸ seal^{2856 5921} unto it.

1 In die autem vigesimo quarto mensis hujus, convenerunt filii Israël in jejunio et in saccis, et humus super eos.

2 Et separatum est semen filiorum Israël ab omni filio alienigena: et steterunt, et confitebantur peccata sua, et iniquitates patrum suorum.

3 Et consurrexerunt ad standum: et legerunt in volumine legis Domini Dei sui, quater in die, et quater confitebantur, et adorabant Dominum Deum suum.

4 Surrexerunt autem super gradum Levitarum Josue, et Bani, et Cedmihel, Sabania, Bonni, Sarebias, Bani, et Chanani: et clamaverunt voce magna ad Dominum Deum suum.

5 Et dixerunt Levitæ Josue, et Cedmihel, Bonni, Hasebnia, Serebia, Odaia, Sebnia, Phathathia: Surgite, benedicite Domino Deo vestro ab æterno usque in æternum: et benedicant nomini gloriæ tuæ excelso in omni benedictione et laude.

6 Tu ipse, Domine, solus, tu fecisti cælum, et cælum cælorum, et omnem exercitum eorum: terram, et universa quæ in ea sunt: maria, et omnia quæ in eis sunt: et tu vivificas omnia hæc, et exercitus cæli te adorat.

7 Tu ipse, Domine Deus, qui elegisti Abram, et eduxisti eum de igne Chaldæorum, et posuisti nomen ejus Abraham:

8 et invenisti cor ejus fidele coram te, et percussisti cum eo fœdus ut dares ei terram Chananæi, Hethæi, et Amorrhæi, et Pherezæi, et Jebusæi, et Gergesæi, ut dares semini ejus: et implesti verba tua, quoniam justus es.

9 Et vidisti afflictionem patrum nostrorum in Ægypto, clamoremque eorum audisti super mare Rubrum.

10 Et dedisti signa atque portenta in Pharaone, et in universis servis ejus, et in omni populo terræ illius: cognovisti enim quia superbe egerant contra eos: et fecisti tibi nomen, sicut et in hac die.

11 Et mare divisisti ante eos, et transierunt per medium maris in sicco: persecutores autem eorum projecisti in profundum, quasi lapidem in aquas validas.

12 Et in columna nubis ductor eorum fuisti per diem, et in columna ignis per noctem, ut appareret eis via per quam ingrediebantur.

13 Ad montem quoque Sinai descendisti, et locutus es cum eis de cælo, et dedisti eis judicia recta, et legem veritatis, cæremonias, et præcepta bona:

14 et sabbatum sanctificatum tuum ostendisti eis: et mandata, et cæremonias, et legem præcepisti eis in manu Moysi servi tui.

15 Panem quoque de cælo dedisti eis in fame eorum, et aquam de petra eduxisti eis sitientibus, et dixisti eis ut ingrederentur et possiderent terram, super quam levasti manum tuam ut traderes eis.

16 Ipsi vero et patres nostri superbe egerunt, et induraverunt cervices suas, et non audierunt mandata tua.

17 Et noluerunt audire, et non sunt recordati mirabilium tuorum quæ feceras eis. Et induraverunt cervices suas, et dederunt caput ut converterentur ad servitutem suam, quasi per contentionem. Tu autem, Deus propitius, clemens, et misericors, longanimis, et multæ miserationis, non dereliquisti eos,

18 et quidem cum fecissent sibi vitulum conflatilem, et dixissent: Iste est deus tuus, qui eduxit te de Ægypto: feceruntque blasphemias magnas:

19 tu autem in misericordiis tuis multis non dimisisti eos in deserto: columna nubis non recessit ab eis per diem ut duceret eos in viam, et columna ignis per noctem ut ostenderet eis iter per quod ingrederentur.

20 Et spiritum tuum bonum dedisti, qui doceret eos: et manna tuum non prohibuisti ab ore eorum, et aquam dedisti eis in siti.

21 Quadraginta annis pavisti eos in deserto, nihilque eis defuit: vestimenta eorum non inveteraverunt, et pedes eorum non sunt attriti.

22 Et dedisti eis regna, et populos, et partitus es eis sortes: et possederunt terram Sehon, et terram regis Hesebon, et terram Og regis Basan.

23 Et multiplicasti filios eorum sicut stellas cæli, et adduxisti eos ad terram de qua dixeras patribus eorum ut ingrederentur et possiderent.

24 Et venerunt filii, et possederunt terram, et humiliasti coram eis habitatores terræ Chananæos, et dedisti eos in manu eorum, et reges eorum, et populos terræ, ut facerent eis sicut placebant illis.

25 Ceperunt itaque urbes munitas et humum pinguem, et possederunt domos plenas cunctis bonis: cisternas ab aliis fabricatas, vineas, et oliveta, et ligna pomifera multa: et comederunt, et saturati sunt, et impinguati sunt, et abundaverunt deliciis in bonitate tua magna.

26 Provocaverunt autem te ad iracundiam, et recesserunt a te, et projecerunt legem tuam post terga sua: et prophetas tuos occiderunt, qui contestabantur eos ut reverterentur ad te: feceruntque blasphemias grandes.

27 Et dedisti eos in manu hostium suorum, et afflixerunt eos. Et in tempore tribulationis suæ clamaverunt ad te, et tu de cælo audisti, et secundum miserationes tuas multas dedisti eis salvatores, qui salvarent eos de manu hostium suorum.

28 Cumque requievissent, reversi sunt ut facerent malum in conspectu tuo, et dereliquisti eos in manu inimicorum suorum, et possederunt eos. Conversique sunt, et clamaverunt ad te: tu autem de cælo exaudisti, et liberasti eos in misericordiis tuis, multis temporibus.

29 Et contestatus es eos ut reverterentur ad legem tuam. Ipsi vero superbe egerunt, et non audierunt mandata tua, et in judiciis tuis peccaverunt, quæ faciet homo, et vivet in eis: et dederunt humerum recedentem, et cervicem suam induraverunt, nec audierunt.

30 Et protraxisti super eos annos multos, et contestatus es eos in spiritu tuo per manum prophetarum tuorum: et non audierunt, et tradidisti eos in manu populorum terrarum.

31 In misericordiis autem tuis plurimis non fecisti eos in consumptionem, nec dereliquisti eos: quoniam Deus miserationum et clemens es tu.

32 Nunc itaque Deus noster magne, fortis et terribilis, custodiens pactum et misericordiam, ne avertas a facie tua omnem laborem, qui invenit nos, reges nostros, et principes nostros, et sacerdotes nostros, et prophetas nostros, et patres nostros, et omnem populum tuum a diebus regis Assur usque in diem hanc.

33 Et tu justus es in omnibus quæ venerunt super nos: quia veritatem fecisti, nos autem impie egimus.

34 Reges nostri, principes nostri, sacerdotes nostri et patres nostri non fecerunt legem tuam, et non attenderunt mandata tua, et testimonia tua quæ testificatus es in eis.

35 Et ipsi in regnis suis, et in bonitate tua multa quam dederas eis, et in terra latissima et pingui quam tradideras in conspectu eorum, non servierunt tibi, nec reversi sunt a studiis suis pessimis.

36 Ecce nos ipsi hodie servi sumus: et terra quam dedisti patribus nostris ut comederent panem ejus, et quæ bona sunt ejus, et nos ipsi servi sumus in ea.

37 Et fruges ejus multiplicantur regibus quos posuisti super nos propter peccata nostra: et corporibus nostris dominantur, et jumentis nostris secundum voluntatem suam: et in tribulatione magna sumus.

38 Super omnibus ergo his nos ipsi percutimus fœdus, et scribimus: et signant principes nostri, Levitæ nostri, et sacerdotes nostri.
