Nehemiah 9:16-17

Thomson(i) 16 But they, even our fathers, behaved proudly and hardened their neck, and hearkened not to thy commandments. 17 Though they refused to go in, and were unmindful of thy wonders which thou hadst done among them; though they hardened their neck, and set up a head to return to their bondage in Egypt, yet thou who art a God merciful and gracious, long suffering and of great kindness, didst not forsake them utterly.
