Nehemiah 9:16-18
International Standard Version
16 “But they—our ancestors—became arrogant and stubborn,
refusing to listen[a] to your commands.
17 They would not listen,[b]
and did not remember the miracles you did among them.
Instead, they became stubborn
and appointed a leader
to return them to their slavery.
“But you are a God of forgiveness,
gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger,
and rich in gracious love;
therefore you did not abandon them.
18 Moreover, after they had cast a golden calf for themselves, they said,
“This is your god who brought you out of Egypt!”
and committed terrible[c] blasphemies.
