Nehemiah 9:18-20
GOD’S WORD Translation
Nehemiah 9:18-20
GOD’S WORD Translation
18 even when they made a metal statue of a calf for themselves
and said, ‘This is your god who took you out of Egypt.’
They committed outrageous sins.
19 But because of your endless compassion,
you didn’t abandon them in the desert.
The column of smoke didn’t leave them during the day,
but it led them on their way.
The column of fire didn’t leave them during the night,
but it gave them light to see the way they should go.
20 You gave them your good Spirit to teach them.
You didn’t keep your manna to yourself.
You gave them water to quench their thirst.

Nehemiah 9:18-20
New International Version
18 even when they cast for themselves an image of a calf(A) and said, ‘This is your god, who brought you up out of Egypt,’ or when they committed awful blasphemies.(B)
19 “Because of your great compassion you did not abandon(C) them in the wilderness. By day the pillar of cloud(D) did not fail to guide them on their path, nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take. 20 You gave your good Spirit(E) to instruct(F) them. You did not withhold your manna(G) from their mouths, and you gave them water(H) for their thirst.
