¹⁷ They refused to listen,
And ^(A)did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You did among them;
So they became stiff-necked and ^(B)gave themselves a chief to return to their slavery ^[a]in Egypt.
But You are a God ^(C)of lavish forgiveness,
Gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness;
And You did not forsake them.

²⁹ And ^(A)testified to them in order to turn them back to Your law.
Yet ^(B)they acted presumptuously and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your judgments,
By ^(C)which if a man does them, he shall live.
And they ^(D)gave a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.
