Nehemiah 9:12-19

12And thou leddest them in the dayH3119 by a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051, and in the nightH3915 by a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to giveH215 them lightH215 in the wayH1870 wherein they should go.

13And thou camest downH3381 on mount SinaiH5514, and didst speakH1696 with them from the heavensH8064, and gavest them rightH3477 judgmentsH4941 and true lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687.

14And thou madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and prescribedst for them commandmentsH4687 and statutesH2706 and a lawH8451, through MosesH4872 thy servantH5650.

15And thou gavest them breadH3899 from the heavensH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and didst sayH559 to them that they should goH3318 in to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst sworn to giveH5414 them.

16But they, our fathersH1, dealt proudly, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and hearkened not to thy commandmentsH4687,

17and refusedH3985 to obey, neither were they mindful of thy wondersH6381 which thou hadst done among them; but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 madeH6213 a captain to returnH7725 to their bondage. But thou art a 1GodH433 ready to forgive, graciousH2587 and merciful, slow to angerH639 and of greatH7227 loving-kindness, and thou forsookest them not.

18Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a molten calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy 2godH430 that broughtH5927 thee up out of EgyptH4714! and they had wrought greatH1419 provocation,

19yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wildernessH4057. The pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from over them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them on the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to shew them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should go.
