Nehemiah 9:15-17

American Standard Version

¹⁵ and gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commandedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst ^[a]sworn to give them.

¹⁶ But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their neck, and hearkened not to thy commandments, ¹⁷ and refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But thou art ^[b]a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and forsookest them not.
