Nehemiah 9:15-17
English Standard Version
15 (A)You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger and (B)brought water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and you (C)told them to go in to possess the land that you had sworn to give them.
16 “But they and our fathers (D)acted presumptuously and stiffened their neck and did not obey your commandments. 17 They refused to obey (E)and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt.[a] But you are a God ready to forgive, (F)gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them.
