Nehemiah 9:26Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingAnd yet they stirred thee to wrath-fulness, and went away from thee, and casted away thy law behind their backs; and they killed thy prophets, that witnessed to them, that they should turn again to thee; and they did great blasphemies. See the chapter |
And he answered, By fervent love, that is, of all the heart, I have loved fervently, for the Lord God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken the covenant of the Lord; they have destroyed thine altars, and killed with sword thy prophets; and I am left alone, and they seek my life, that they do it away.
And thou witnessedest to them, that they should turn again to thy law; but they did proudly, and heard not thy behests, and sinned in thy dooms, which a man that shall do, shall live in those [or them]; but they gave their shoulder and went away, and they made hard their nolls, and would not obey to thy dooms.
And the sons stirred me to wrath, and went not in my commandments, and kept not my dooms, that they did those [or them], which when a man hath done, he shall live in those [or them], and they defouled my sabbaths. And I menaced to [or threatened] them that I would shed out my strong vengeance on them, and [ful] fill my wrath in them in the desert.
Forsooth the sons of Israel joined new sins to eld [or old] sins, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served to the idols of Baalim, and to Ashtaroth, and to the gods of Syria, and of Sidon, and of Moab, and of the sons of Ammon, and of Philistines; and they left the Lord, and worshipped not him.
