Nehemiah 9:31

Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou [art] a gracious and merciful God.

Nevertheless for thy great {H7227} mercies {H7356}' sake thou didst {H6213} not utterly consume {H3617} them, nor forsake {H5800} them; for thou art a gracious {H2587} and merciful {H7349} God {H410}.

Even so, in your great compassion, you didn't completely destroy them; nor did you abandon them, for you are a compassionate and merciful God.

But in Your great compassion, You did not put an end to them; nor did You forsake them, for You are a gracious and compassionate God.

Nevertheless in thy manifold mercies thou didst not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
