Verse 29

Nehemiah 9:29

Literal Standard Version

29 And testify against them, || To bring them back to Your law; And they have acted proudly, || And have not listened to Your commands, || And against Your judgments have sinned—Which man does and has lived in them—And they give a stubborn shoulder, || And have hardened their neck, || And have not listened.

English Translation
And they testified against them to bring them back to Your Torah, but they rebelled and did not listen to Your commandments and Your ordinances; they sinned against them. What a person will do and live by them, they gave a rebellious shoulder and made stubborn their neck, and they did not listen.
