16 “But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly; They stiffened their necks and would not heed Your commandments. 17 “They refused to listen and obey, And did not remember Your wondrous acts which You had performed among them; So they stiffened their necks and [in their rebellion] appointed a leader in order to return them to slavery in Egypt. But You are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and merciful and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; And You did not abandon them. Nehemiah 9:16-17, Amplified Bible.
