Nehemiah 9:12
Compare all
10 You ashowed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
Against all his servants,
And against all the people of his land.
For You knew that they bacted proudly against them.
So You cmade a name for Yourself, as it is this day. 
11 aAnd You divided the sea before them,
So that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land;
And their persecutors You threw into the deep,
bAs a stone into the mighty waters. 
12 Moreover You aled them by day with a cloudy pillar,
And by night with a pillar of fire,
To give them light on the road
Which they should travel. 
13 “Youa came down also on Mount Sinai,
And spoke with them from heaven,
And gave them bjust ordinances and true laws,
Good statutes and commandments. 
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. 
24 So athe people went in
And possessed the land;
bYou subdued before them the inhabitants of the land,
The Canaanites,
And gave them into their hands,
With their kings
And the people of the land,
That they might do with them as they wished. 
25 And1 they took strong cities and a arich land,
And possessed bhouses full of all goods,
Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,
And fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate and were filled and cgrew fat,
And delighted themselves in Your great dgoodness.
