Nehemiah 9:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ “but refused to obey and would not remember Your marvelous works that You had done for them, but hardened their necks and had in their heads to return to their bondage by their rebellion! But You, O God of Mercies, gracious and full of compassion, of long-suffering, and of great mercy, still did not forsake them!

¹⁸ “Moreover, when they made themselves a molten calf (and said, ‘This is your God Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt’) and committed great blasphemies—

¹⁹ “because of Your great mercies—You still did not forsake them in the wilderness! The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day to lead the way, nor did the pillar of fire by night to show them light and the way by which they should go!
