Nehemiah 9:12-19

12Moreover in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 thou leddest them by dayH3119; and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to giveH215 them lightH215 in the wayH1870 wherein they should go. 13Thou camest downH3381 also upon mount SinaiH5514, and spakest with them from heavenH8064, and gavest them rightH3477 ordinancesH4941 and true lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687, 14and madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and commandedst them commandmentsH4687, and statutesH2706, and a lawH8451, by MosesH4872 thy servantH5650, 15and gavest them breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and commandedst them that they should goH3318 in to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst sworn to giveH5414 them.

16But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudly, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and hearkened not to thy commandmentsH4687, 17and refusedH3985 to obey, neither were mindful of thy wondersH6381 that thou didst among them, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointed a captain to returnH7725 to their bondage. But thou art a GodH433 ready to pardon, graciousH2587 and merciful, slow to angerH639, and abundant in lovingkindness, and forsookest them not. 18Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a molten calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that broughtH5927 thee up out of EgyptH4714, and had wrought greatH1419 provocations; 19yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from over them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to show them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should go.
