John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 9:25

Neh 9:25 And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness. Ver. 25. And they took strong cities ] With no great ado: like as towns are said to come in to Timotheus’ (the Athenian general’s) toils while he slept.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 9:26

Neh 9:26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations. Ver. 26. Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled ] See how full in the mouth these holy Levites were in aggravating their own and their forefathers’ sins, which swelled as so many toads in their eyes; neither could they ever sufficiently disgrace them. This is the... read more

Neh 9:27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest [them] from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. Ver. 27. Therefore thou deliveredst them ] Flagitium et flagellum, sicut acus et filum. Sin and punishment are tied together with chains of adamant. Who vexed them ] Heb.

Neh 9:28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest [them] from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies; Ver. 28. But after they had rest, they did evil again ] As standing pools breed vermin; as sedentary lives are subject to diseases. If men be not poured out from vessel to vessel, they... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 9:29

Neh 9:29 And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. Ver. 29. And testifiedst against them ] Toldest them of their sins, foretoldest them of their dangers, didst all that could be done to do them good; but nothing would do. Yet they dealt proudly... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 9:30

Neh 9:30 Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands. Ver. 30. Yet many years didst thou forbear them ] Heb. Protract over them; or, draw out thy lovingkindness toward them to the utmost. And testifiedst against them ] As Nehemiah 9:29 .

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 9:31

Neh 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. Ver. 31. Nevertheless for thy great mercies’ sake] Man’s perverseness cannot interrupt the course of God’s goodness. In the midst of judgment he remembereth mercy, which beareth the same proportion to his judgment which seven (a complete number) hath to a unity. Thou didst not utterly consume them ] God will repent for his people, when he seeth... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 9:33

Neh 9:33 Howbeit thou [art] just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: Ver. 33. Howbeit thou art just ] So Mauricius, the emperor, justified God, when he saw his wife and children butchered before his eyes by the traitor Phocas, and knew that himself should be soon after stewed in his own broth; he cried out, Just art thou, O Lord, and just are all thy judgments. So did the noble Du Plessy, when he heard of the death of his only son slain in... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 9:34

Neh 9:34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. Ver. 34. Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, &c. ] But as there hath been a general defection, so a well-deserved desolation, wherein we have all justly shared. Nor hearkened to thy commandments ] And that because they testified against their contrary practices. This wicked men cannot... read more
