Nehemiah 9:32

Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

Now therefore, our God {H430}, the great {H1419}, the mighty {H1368}, and the terrible {H3372} God {H410}, who keepest {H8104} covenant {H1285} and mercy {H2617}, let not all the trouble {H8513} seem little {H4591} before {H6440} thee, that hath come {H4672} upon us, on our kings {H4428}, on our princes {H8269}, and on our priests {H3548}, and on our prophets {H5030}, and on our fathers {H1}, and on all thy people {H5971}, since the time {H3117} of the kings {H4428} of Assyria {H804} unto this day {H3117}.

"'Now therefore, our God, great, mighty, fearsome God, who keeps both covenant and grace: let not all this suffering seem little to you that has come on us, our kings, our leaders, our cohanim, our prophets, our ancestors, and on all your people, from the times of the kings of Ashur until this very day.

So now, our God, the great and mighty and awesome God who keeps His gracious covenant, do not view lightly all the hardship that has come upon us, and upon our kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors and all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until today.

Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and lovingkindness, let not all the travail seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
