Nehemiah 9:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 “But they, our fathers, (A)acted presumptuously;
They [a](B)became stiff-necked and would not listen to Your commandments.
17 They refused to listen,
And (C)did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You did among them;
So they became stiff-necked and (D)gave themselves a chief to return to their slavery [b]in Egypt.
But You are a God (E)of lavish forgiveness,
Gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness;
And You did not forsake them.
18 Even when they (F)made for themselves
A molten calf
And said, ‘This is your God
Who brought you up from Egypt,’
And [c]committed great [d]blasphemies,
