to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances, (which if a man do, he shall live in them), and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. 009:030 Yet many years did you bear with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gave you them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. 009:031 Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God. 009:032 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keep covenant and loving kindness, don't let all the travail seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day. 009:033 However you are just in all that is come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly; 009:034 neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you did testify against them. 009:035 For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and fat land which you gave before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. 009:036 Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good of it, behold, we are servants in it. 009:037 It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins: also they have power over our bodies, and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress. 009:038 Yet for all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests, seal to it. 010:001 Now those who sealed were: Nehemiah the governor, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah, 010:002 Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah, 010:003 Pashhur, Amariah, Malchijah, 010:004 Hattush, Shebaniah, Malluch, 010:005 Harim, Meremoth, Obadiah, 010:006 Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch, 010:007 Meshullam, Abijah, Mijamin, 010:008 Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah; these were the priests. 010:009 The Levites: namely, Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel; 010:010 and their brothers, Shebaniah, Hodiah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan, 010:011 Mica, Rehob, Hashabiah, 010:012 Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah, 010:013 Hodiah, Bani, Beninu. 010:014 The chiefs of the people: Parosh, Pahathmoab, Elam, Zattu, Bani, 010:015 Bunni, Azgad, Bebai, 010:016 Adonijah, Bigvai, Adin, 010:017 Ater, Hezekiah, Azzur, 010:018 Hodiah, Hashum, Bezai, 010:019 Hariph, Anathoth, Nobai, 010:020 Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir,
