Nehemiah 13:18

Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.

Did {H6213} not your fathers {H1} thus, and did {H935} not our God {H430} bring {H935} all this evil {H7451} upon us, and upon this city {H5892}? yet ye bring {H935} more {H3254} wrath {H2740} upon Israel {H3478} by profaning {H2490} the sabbath {H7676}.

Didn't your ancestors do this, and didn't our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Yet you are bringing still more fury against Isra'el by profaning Shabbat!"

Did not your forefathers do the same things, so that our God brought all this disaster on us and on this city? And now you are rekindling His wrath against Israel by profaning the Sabbath!”

Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
