Nehemiah 9:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
“You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger,
And brought water for them out of a rock for their thirst,
And You told them to enter and take possession of
The land that You ^[a]swore to give them.^(A)

¹⁶ 
“But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly;
They stiffened their necks and would not heed Your commandments.
¹⁷ 
“They refused to listen and obey,
And did not remember Your wondrous acts which You had performed among them;
So they stiffened their necks and [in their rebellion] appointed a leader in order to return them to slavery in Egypt.
But You are a God of forgiveness,
Gracious and merciful and compassionate,
^[b]Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness;
And You did not abandon them.^(B)
