Nehemiah 9:11-21
111You dividedH1234 the seaH3220 beforeH6440 them, So they passedH5674 through the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 on dryH3004 groundH3004; And 2their pursuersH7291 You hurledH7993 into the depthsH4688, LikeH3644 a stoneH68 into 3ragingH5794 watersH4325.12And with a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 4You ledH5148 them by dayH3119, And with a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915 To lightH215 for them the wayH1870 In whichH834 they were to goH1980.13Then 5You cameH3381 downH3381 on MountH2022 SinaiH5514, And 6spokeH1696 with them from heavenH8064; You gaveH5414 them 7justH3477 ordinancesH4941 and trueH571 lawsH8451, GoodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687.14So You madeH3045 knownH3045 to them 8Your holyH6944 sabbathH7676, And laidH6680 downH6680 for them commandmentsH4687, statutesH2706 and lawH8451, ThroughH3027 Your servantH5650 MosesH4872.15You 9providedH5414 breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for them for their hungerH7458, You 10broughtH3318 forthH3318 waterH4325 from a rockH5553 for them for their thirstH6772, And You 11toldH559 them to enterH935 in order to possessH3423 The landH776 whichH834 You 12sworeH5375H3027 to giveH5414 them.
16“But they, our fathersH1, 13actedH2102 arrogantlyH2102; They 1415becameH7185H6203 stubbornH7185H6203 and would not listenH8085 to Your commandmentsH4687.17They refusedH3985 to listenH8085, And 16did not rememberH2142 Your wondrousH6381 deedsH6381 whichH834 You had performedH6213 amongH5973 them; So they becameH7185H6203 stubbornH7185H6203 and 17appointedH5414 a leaderH7218 to returnH7725 to their slaveryH5659 18in EgyptH4714. But You are a GodH433 19of forgivenessH5547, GraciousH2587 and compassionateH7349, SlowH750 to angerH639 and aboundingH7227 in lovingkindnessH2617; And You did not forsakeH5800 them.18EvenH637 whenH3588 they 20madeH6213 for themselves A calfH5695 of moltenH4541 metalH4541 And saidH559, ‘ThisH2088 is your GodH430 WhoH834 broughtH5927 you up from EgyptH4714,’ And committedH6213 greatH1419 21blasphemiesH5007,1922You, in Your greatH7227 compassionH7356, Did not forsakeH5800 them in the wildernessH4057; 23The pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 did not leaveH5493H4480H5921 them by dayH3119, To guideH5148 them on their wayH1870, NorH3808 the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to lightH215 for them the wayH1870 in whichH834 they were to goH1980.2024You gaveH5414 Your goodH2896 SpiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, Your mannaH4478 You did not withholdH4513 from their mouthH6310, And You gaveH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.21Indeed, 25fortyH705 yearsH8141 You providedH3557 for them in the wildernessH4057 and they were not in wantH2637; Their clothesH8008 did not wearH1086 out, norH3808 did their feetH7272 swellH1216.
