Nehemiah 9:10-17

NSB(i) 10 »You did signs and wonders on Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land. You saw how cruel they were to them. So you made a name for yourself as it is today. 11 »You parted the sea before them, so that they went through the sea on dry land; and those who went after them went down into the deep, like a stone into great waters. 12 »And you went before them by day in a pillar of cloud and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light on the way they were to go. 13 »You came down on Mount Sinai, and your voice came to them from heaven, giving them right decisions and true laws, good rules and orders. 14 »They received word of your holy Sabbath from you. You gave them orders and rules and a law, by the hand of Moses your servant. 15 »They received bread from heaven when they were in need, and you made water come out of the rock for their drink, and gave them orders to go in and take for their heritage the land that your hand give them. 16 »But they and our fathers, in their pride, made their necks stiff, and paid no attention to your orders. 17 »They would not obey you and gave no thought to the wonders you did among them. They became stubborn and turning away from you. They appointed a leader over themselves to take them back to their prison in Egypt. However, you are a God of forgiveness, full of grace and pity, slow to wrath and great in mercy, and you did not give them up.
