Nehemiah 9:16
Compare all
14 You made known to them Your aholy Sabbath,
And commanded them precepts, statutes and laws,
By the hand of Moses Your servant. 
15 You agave them bread from heaven for their hunger,
And bbrought them water out of the rock for their thirst,
And told them to cgo in to possess the land
Which You had1 sworn to give them. 
16 “Buta they and our fathers acted proudly,
bHardened1 their necks,
And did not heed Your commandments. 
17 They refused to obey,
And1 athey were not mindful of Your wonders
That You did among them.
But they hardened their necks,
And in their rebellion
They appointed ba leader
To return to their bondage.
But You are God,
Ready to pardon,
cGracious and merciful,
Slow to anger,
Abundant in kindness,
And did not forsake them. 
18 “Even awhen they made a molded calf for themselves,
And said, ‘This is your god
That brought you up out of Egypt,’
And worked great provocations, 
19 Yet in Your amanifold mercies
You did not forsake them in the wilderness.
The bpillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,
To lead them on the road;
Nor the pillar of fire by night,
To show them light,
And the way they should go. 
20 You also gave Your agood Spirit to instruct them,
And did not withhold Your bmanna from their mouth,
And gave them cwater for their thirst. 
21 aForty years You sustained them in the wilderness;
They lacked nothing;
Their bclothes did not wear out
And their feet did not swell. 
22 “Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations,
And divided them into1 districts.
So they took possession of the land of aSihon,
1The land of the king of Heshbon,
And the land of Og king of Bashan. 
23 You also multiplied atheir children as the stars of heaven,
And brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers
To go in and possess.
