Nehemiah 9:17

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ They refused to ·listen [obey];
    they ·forgot [^Ldid not remember/recall] the ·miracles [wonders] you ·did [performed] ·for [among] them.
So they became ·stubborn [rebellious; ^Lstiff-necked],
    ·choosing [appointing] a leader to take them back to slavery in Egypt.^[a]
But you are a forgiving God.
    You are ·kind [gracious] and ·full of mercy [compassionate].
You ·do not become angry quickly [^Tare slow to anger], and ·you have great [abounding in unfailing/steadfast] love [compare Ex. 34:6; Num. 14:18; Ps. 86:15, 145:8; Joel 2:13]
    So you did not ·leave [abandon; desert; forsake] them.
