Nehemiah 9:16-17
New American Standard Bible
16 “But they, our fathers, (A)acted arrogantly;
They [a](B)became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments.
17 They refused to listen,
And (C)did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You performed among them;
So they became stubborn and (D)appointed a leader to return to their slavery in [b]Egypt.
But You are a God (E)of forgiveness,
Gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abounding in [c]mercy;
And You did not abandon them.
