Nehemiah 9:18 WEB

¹⁶  But they and our fathers dealt proudly and hardened their neck, and didn't listen to your commandments,

¹⁷  and refused to obey, neither were mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn't forsake them.

¹⁸  Yes, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt, and had committed awful blasphemies;

¹⁹  yet you in your manifold mercies didn't forsake them in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud didn't depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.

²⁰  You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and didn't withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
