Nehemiah 9:16-17

Rotherham(i) 16 But, they and our fathers, dealt proudly,––and hardened their neck, and hearkened not unto thy commandments; 17 but refused to hearken, neither kept in mind thy wonders which thou hadst done with them, but they hardened their neck, and appointed a head that they might return to their servitude, in their perverseness. But, thou, art a God of forgivenesses, gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness, and didst not forsake them.
