Nehemiah 9:16-25

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.

20Thou gavest also thy goodH2896 SpiritH7307 to instruct them, and withheldest not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavest them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.

21Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057; they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 grew not old, and their feetH7272 swelled not.

22And thou gavest them kingdomsH4467 and peoplesH5971, and didst divideH2505 them by countries; and they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, as well the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, as the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.

23And their children thou didst multiplyH7235 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and thou broughtest them into the landH776 concerningH413 which thou didst sayH559 to their fathersH1 that they should goH935 in to possessH3423 it.

24And the children wentH935 in and possessedH3423 the landH776; and thou subduedst before them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavest them into their handsH3027, both their kingsH4428 and the peoplesH5971 of the landH776, that they might do with them as they would.

25And they tookH3920 strong citiesH5892, and a fatH8080 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodH2898 things, wells digged, vineyardsH3754 and olive-gardens, and fruit treesH6086 in abundanceH7230. And they did eatH398 and were filled, and became fatH8080, and delighted themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898.
