Open English Bible (OEB)English
Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Und du zeugtest wider sie, um sie zu deinem Gesetz zurückzuführen, sie aber waren übermütig und gehorchten deinen Geboten nicht, sondern sündigten wider deine Rechte, durch welche der Mensch, wenn er sie tut, leben wird; und sie zogen die Schulter widerspenstig zurück und verhärteten ihren Nacken und gehorchten nicht.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Y protestásteles que se volviesen á tu ley; mas ellos hicieron soberbiamente, y no oyeron tus mandamientos, sino que pecaron contra tus juicios, los cuales si el hombre hiciere, en ellos vivirá; y dieron hombro renitente, y endurecieron su cerviz, y no escucharon.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
E os alertaste, para os fazer voltar à tua lei; porém eles agiram com soberba, e não deram ouvidos teus mandamentos; ao invés disso, pecaram contra teus juízos, os quais quem praticar, por causa deles viverá; e deram as costas, endureceram sua cerviz, e não deram ouvidos.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Tu os alertaste para que voltassem à Tua Lei. Contudo eles agiram arrogantemente e não escutaram os Teus mandamentos. Eles pecaram contra os Teus decretos que dão vida a qualquer um que obedecê-los. Eles viraram as costas obstinadamente e endureceram seus pescoços e se recusaram a ouvir.
📖 Nehemiah 9:29 in Context
27Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
28But 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 them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
29And 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 thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
30Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
31Nevertheless for thy great mercies’ sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
