TSK · Nehemiah 9:29

So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh and told him,“This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has said:‘How long do you refuse to humble yourself before me? Release my people so that they may serve me!

I invoke heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that you will surely and swiftly be removed from the very land you are about to cross the Jordan to possess. You will not last long there because you will surely be annihilated.

for I know about your rebellion and stubbornness. Indeed, even while I have been living among you to this very day, you have rebelled against the LORD; you will be even more rebellious after my death!

The LORD solemnly warned Israel and Judah through all his prophets and all the seers,“Turn back from your evil ways; obey my commandments and rules that are recorded in the law. I ordered your ancestors to keep this law and sent my servants the prophets to remind you of its demands.”

The LORD sent prophets among them to lead them back to him. They warned the people, but they would not pay attention.

You performed awesome signs against Pharaoh, against his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that the Egyptians had acted presumptuously against them. You made for yourself a name that is celebrated to this day.

“Nonetheless they grew disobedient and rebelled against you; they disregarded your law. They killed your prophets who had solemnly admonished them in order to cause them to return to you. They committed atrocious blasphemies.

Then I said to the people of Judah,“Listen and pay attention! Do not be arrogant! For the LORD has spoken.

“The LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel says,‘I will soon bring on this city and all the towns surrounding it all the disaster I threatened to do to it. I will do so because they have stubbornly refused to pay any attention to what I have said!’”

Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and other arrogant men said to Jeremiah,“You are telling a lie! The LORD our God did not send you to tell us,‘You must not go to Egypt and settle there.’

“We will not listen to what you claim the LORD has spoken to us!

And when his mind became arrogant and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.

“But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear.

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law:“The one who does these things will live by them.”

But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says,“God opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.”
