Nehemiah 9:16

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.

but this thing I commanded them, saying, ‘Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. Walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.

This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

Yahweh had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’ ”

“Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?

If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill them.

How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!

For Yahweh says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.

that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,

Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do among them, and after that he will let you go.

Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”

He said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go among us, even though this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”

I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk upright.

You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.

You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, when you do that which is right in Yahweh’s eyes.

Yahweh will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with the tumors, with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.

He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they will cling to you.

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

yet if they repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned, and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly;’

They took fortified cities and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness.

and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”

All your children will be taught by Yahweh; and your children’s peace will be great.

They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t defend the rights of the needy.

To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, Yahweh’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.

Yet they didn’t listen to me or incline their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.

But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says Yahweh; “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’ ”

“Now, Lord our God, who has brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten yourself renown, as it is today; we have sinned. We have done wickedly.

But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Don’t quench the Spirit.

But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,

Those who love your law have great peace. Nothing causes them to stumble.

‘Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.

“ ‘ “But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me. They didn’t all throw away the abominations of their eyes. They also didn’t forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.

“It shall be eighteen thousand reeds around: and the name of the city from that day shall be, ‘Yahweh is there.’

to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. How much more after my death?

and showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, and against all his servants, and against all the people of his land; for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is today.

and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they were arrogant, and didn’t listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened their neck, and would not hear.

He said, “If you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you.”

Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”

Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

Know therefore that Yahweh your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.

Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,

But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he abandoned God who made him, and rejected the Rock of his salvation.

Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who didn’t believe in Yahweh their God.

For our fathers were unfaithful, and have done that which was evil in Yahweh our God’s sight, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and turned their backs.

Now don’t be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to Yahweh, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve Yahweh your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!

We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.

You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.

He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;

Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.

Generation, consider Yahweh’s word. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, ‘We have broken loose. We will come to you no more?’

“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’ ”

Don’t you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Yahweh of Armies says, ‘Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;’ but they didn’t hear, nor listen to me, says Yahweh.

“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”
