Nehemiah 9:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ You told them about your special day of rest—the Sabbath.
    Through your servant Moses,
    you gave them commands, laws, and teachings.
¹⁵ They were hungry,
    so you gave them food from heaven.
They were thirsty,
    so you gave them water from a rock.
You told them,
    ‘Come, take this land.’
You used your power,
    and took the land for them.
¹⁶ But our ancestors became proud and stubborn.
    They refused to obey your commands.
