Nehemiah 9:17-20
17They refusedH3985 to listenH8085, And 1did not rememberH2142 Your wondrousH6381 deedsH6381 whichH834 You performedH6213 amongH5973 them; So they becameH7185H6203 stubbornH7185H6203 and 2appointedH5414 a leaderH7218 to returnH7725 to their slaveryH5659 in 3EgyptH4714. But You are a GodH433 4of forgivenessH5547, GraciousH2587 and compassionateH7349, SlowH750 to angerH639 and aboundingH7227 in 5mercyH2617; And You did not abandonH5800 them.18EvenH637 whenH3588 they 6madeH6213 for themselves A calfH5695 of castH4541 metalH4541 And saidH559, ‘ThisH2088 is your 7godH430 WhoH834 broughtH5927 you upH5927 from EgyptH4714,’ And committedH6213 greatH1419 blasphemiesH5007,198You, in Your greatH7227 compassionH7356, Did not abandonH5800 them in the wildernessH4057; 9The 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 goH1980.20Instead, 10You gaveH5414 Your goodH2896 SpiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, You did not withholdH4513 Your mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, And You gaveH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
