but hardened{H7185}{(H8686)} their necks{H6203}, and in their rebellion{H4805} appointed{H5414}{(H8799)} a captain{H7218} to return{H7725}{(H8800)} to their bondage{H5659}: but thou art a God{H433} ready to pardon{H5547}, gracious{H2587} and merciful{H7349}, slow{H750} to anger{H639}, and of great{H7227} kindness{H2617}, and forsookest{H5800}{(H8804)} them not. 18 Yea, when they had made{H6213}{(H8804)} them a molten{H4541} calf{H5695}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, This is thy God{H430} that brought thee up{H5927}{(H8689)} out of Egypt{H4714}, and had wrought{H6213}{(H8799)} great{H1419} provocations{H5007}; 19 Yet thou in thy manifold{H7227} mercies{H7356} forsookest{H5800}{(H8804)} them not in the wilderness{H4057}: the pillar{H5982} of the cloud{H6051} departed{H5493}{(H8804)} not from them by day{H3119}, to lead{H5148}{(H8687)} them in the way{H1870}; neither the pillar{H5982} of fire{H784} by night{H3915}, to shew them light{H215}{(H8687)}, and the way{H1870} wherein they should go{H3212}{(H8799)}. 20 Thou gavest{H5414}{(H8804)} also thy good{H2896} spirit{H7307} to instruct{H7919}{(H8687)} them, and withheldest{H4513}{(H8804)} not thy manna{H4478} from their mouth{H6310}, and gavest{H5414}{(H8804)} them water{H4325} for their thirst{H6772}. 21 Yea, forty{H705} years{H8141} didst thou sustain{H3557}{(H8773)} them in the wilderness{H4057}, so that they lacked{H2637}{(H8804)} nothing; their clothes{H8008} waxed not old{H1086}{(H8804)}, and their feet{H7272} swelled{H1216}{(H8804)} not. 22 Moreover thou gavest{H5414}{(H8799)} them kingdoms{H4467} and nations{H5971}, and didst divide{H2505}{(H8799)} them into corners{H6285}: so they possessed{H3423}{(H8799)} the land{H776} of Sihon{H5511}, and the land{H776} of the king{H4428} of Heshbon{H2809}, and the land{H776} of Og{H5747} king{H4428} of Bashan{H1316}. 23 Their children{H1121} also multipliedst{H7235}{(H8689)} thou as the stars{H3556} of heaven{H8064}, and broughtest{H935}{(H8686)} them into the land{H776}, concerning which thou hadst promised{H559}{(H8804)} to their fathers{H1}, that they should go in{H935}{(H8800)} to possess{H3423}{(H8800)} it. 24 So the children{H1121} went in{H935}{(H8799)} and possessed{H3423}{(H8799)} the land{H776}, and thou subduedst{H3665}{(H8686)} before{H6440} them the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of the land{H776}, the Canaanites{H3669}, and gavest{H5414}{(H8799)} them into their hands{H3027}, with their kings{H4428}, and the people{H5971} of the land{H776}, that they might do{H6213}{(H8800)} with them as they would{H7522}. 25 And they took{H3920}{(H8799)} strong{H1219}{(H8803)} cities{H5892}, and a fat{H8082} land{H127}, and possessed{H3423}{(H8799)} houses{H1004} full{H4392} of all goods{H2898}, wells{H953} digged{H2672}{(H8803)}, vineyards{H3754}, and oliveyards{H2132}, and fruit{H3978} trees{H6086} in abundance{H7230}: so they did eat{H398}{(H8799)}, and were filled{H7646}{(H8799)}, and became fat{H8080}{(H8686)}, and delighted{H5727}{(H8691)} themselves in thy great{H1419} goodness{H2898}. 26 Nevertheless they were disobedient{H4784}{(H8686)}, and rebelled{H4775}{(H8799)} against thee, and cast{H7993}{(H8686)} thy law{H8451} behind{H310} their backs{H1458}, and slew{H2026}{(H8804)} thy prophets{H5030} which testified{H5749}{(H8689)} against them to turn{H7725}{(H8687)} them to thee, and they wrought{H6213}{(H8799)} great{H1419} provocations{H5007}. 27 Therefore thou deliveredst{H5414}{(H8799)} them into the hand{H3027} of their enemies{H6862}, who vexed{H6887}{(H8686)} them: and in the time{H6256} of their trouble{H6869}, when they cried{H6817}{(H8799)} unto thee, thou heardest{H8085}{(H8799)} them from heaven{H8064}; and according to thy manifold{H7227} mercies{H7356} thou gavest{H5414}{(H8799)} them saviours{H3467}{(H8688)}, who saved{H3467}{(H8686)} them out of the hand{H3027} of their enemies{H6862}. 28 But after they had rest{H5117}{(H8800)}, they did{H6213}{(H8800)} evil{H7451} again{H7725}{(H8799)} before{H6440} thee: therefore leftest{H5800}{(H8799)} thou them in the hand{H3027} of their enemies{H341}{(H8802)}, so that they had the dominion{H7287}{(H8799)} over them: yet when they returned{H7725}{(H8799)}, and cried{H2199}{(H8799)} unto thee, thou heardest{H8085}{(H8799)} them from heaven{H8064}; and many{H7227} times{H6256} didst thou deliver{H5337}{(H8686)} them according to thy mercies{H7356}; 29 And testifiedst{H5749}{(H8686)} against them, that thou mightest bring them again{H7725}{(H8687)} unto thy law{H8451}: yet they dealt proudly{H2102}{(H8689)}, and hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} not unto thy commandments{H4687}, but sinned{H2398}{(H8804)} against thy judgments{H4941},(which if a man{H120} do{H6213}{(H8799)}, he shall live{H2421}{(H8804)} in them;) and withdrew{H5414}{(H8799)}{H5637}{(H8802)} the shoulder{H3802}, and hardened{H7185}{(H8689)} their neck{H6203}, and would not hear{H8085}{(H8804)}. 30 Yet many{H7227} years{H8141} didst thou forbear{H4900}{(H8799)} them, and testifiedst{H5749}{(H8686)} against them by thy spirit{H7307} in{H3027} thy prophets{H5030}: yet would they not give ear{H238}{(H8689)}: therefore gavest{H5414}{(H8799)} thou them into the hand{H3027} of the people{H5971} of the lands{H776}. 31 Nevertheless for thy great{H7227} mercies{H7356}' sake thou didst{H6213}{(H8804)} not utterly consume{H3617} them, nor forsake{H5800}{(H8804)} them; for thou art a gracious{H2587} and merciful{H7349} God{H410}. 32 Now therefore, our God{H430}, the great{H1419}, the mighty{H1368}, and the terrible{H3372}{(H8737)} God{H410}, who keepest{H8104}{(H8802)} covenant{H1285} and mercy{H2617}, let not all the trouble{H8513} seem little{H4591}{(H8799)} before{H6440} thee, that hath come{H4672}{(H8804)} upon us, on our kings{H4428}, on our princes{H8269}, and on our priests{H3548}, and on our prophets{H5030}, and on our fathers{H1}, and on all thy people{H5971}, since the time{H3117} of the kings{H4428} of Assyria{H804} unto this day{H3117}. 33 Howbeit thou art just{H6662} in all that is brought{H935}{(H8802)} upon us; for thou hast done{H6213}{(H8804)} right{H571}, but we have done wickedly{H7561}{(H8689)}: 34 Neither have our kings{H4428}, our princes{H8269}, our priests{H3548}, nor our fathers{H1}, kept{H6213}{(H8804)} thy law{H8451}, nor hearkened{H7181}{(H8689)} unto thy commandments{H4687} and thy testimonies{H5715}, wherewith thou didst testify{H5749}{(H8689)} against them. 35 For they have not served{H5647}{(H8804)} thee in their kingdom{H4438}, and in thy great{H7227} goodness{H2898} that thou gavest{H5414}{(H8804)} them, and in the large{H7342} and fat{H8082} land{H776} which thou gavest{H5414}{(H8804)} before{H6440} them, neither turned{H7725}{(H8804)} they from their wicked{H7451} works{H4611}. 36 Behold, we are servants{H5650} this day{H3117}, and for the land{H776} that thou gavest{H5414}{(H8804)} unto our fathers{H1} to eat{H398}{(H8800)} the fruit{H6529} thereof and the good{H2898} thereof, behold, we are servants{H5650} in it: 37 And it yieldeth much{H7235}{(H8688)} increase{H8393} unto the kings{H4428} whom thou hast set{H5414}{(H8804)} over us because of our sins{H2403}: also they have dominion{H4910}{(H8802)} over our bodies{H1472}, and over our cattle{H929}, at their pleasure{H7522}, and we are in great{H1419} distress{H6869}. 38 And because of all this we make{H3772}{(H8802)} a sure{H548} covenant, and write{H3789}{(H8802)} it; and our princes{H8269}, Levites{H3881}, and priests{H3548}, seal{H2856}{(H8803)} unto it.
  • Ps 126:1-2 : 1 A Song{H7892} of degrees{H4609}. When the LORD{H3068} turned again{H7725}{(H8800)} the captivity{H7870} of Zion{H6726}, we were like them that dream{H2492}{(H8802)}. 2 Then was our mouth{H6310} filled{H4390}{(H8735)} with laughter{H7814}, and our tongue{H3956} with singing{H7440}: then said{H559}{(H8799)} they among the heathen{H1471}, The LORD{H3068} hath done{H6213}{(H8800)} great things{H1431}{(H8689)} for them.
