Nehemiah 9:17

They refused to listen
and did not consider the wonders you had done among them.
They were stubborn and in their rebellion
they chose a leader to return to their slavery.
But you are a forgiving God,
gracious (full of loving care) and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love (caring love).
You did not abandon them.
