Nehemiah:9:12-23

*
Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar ;
and in the night by a pillar of fire ,
to give them light in the way wherein they should go .
*
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai ,
and spakest with them from heaven ,
and gavest them right judgments ,
and true laws ,
good statutes and commandments :
*
And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath ,
and commandedst them precepts ,
statutes ,
and laws ,
by the hand of Moses thy servant :
*
And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger ra #
ab #,
and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst ,
and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn yad #
to give them .
*
But they and our fathers dealt proudly ,
and hardened their necks ,
and hearkened not to thy commandments ,
*
And refused to obey ,
neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them ;
but hardened their necks ,
and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage :
but thou art a God ready to pardon ,
gracious and merciful ,
slow to anger ,
and of great kindness ,
and forsookest them not .
*
Yea ,
when they had made them a molten calf ,
and said ,
This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt ,
and had wrought great provocations n @#

*
Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness :
the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day ,
to lead them in the way ;
neither the pillar of fire by night ,
to shew them light ,
and the way wherein they should go .
*
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them ,
and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth ,
and gavest them water for their thirst .
*
Yea ,

years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness ,
so that they lacked nothing ;
their clothes waxed not old ,
and their feet swelled not .
*
Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations ,
and didst divide them into corners pe #

so they possessed the land of Sihon ,
and the land of the king of Heshbon ,
and the land of Og king of Bashan .
*
Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven ,
and broughtest them into the land ,
concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers ,
that they should go in to possess it .
