Nehemiah 9:16-25

16But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687, 17And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 perform among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not.1 18Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought theeH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007; 19Yet thou in thy greatH7227 merciesH7356 forsookestH5800 them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to show them lightH215, and the wayH1870 in which they should goH3212. 20Thou gavestH5414 also thy goodH2896 SpiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, and withheldestH4513 not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavestH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772. 21Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 did not wear outH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not. 22Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316. 23Their childrenH1121 also didst multiplyH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou didst promiseH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it . 24So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou didst subdueH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522.2 25And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a richH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, dugH2672 wellsH953, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they ateH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898.34
