^١٧وَأَبَوْا الاسْتِمَاعَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَكَ الَّتِي صَنَعْتَ مَعَهُمْ، وَصَلَّبُوا رِقَابَهُمْ. وَعِنْدَ تَمَرُّدِهِمْ أَقَامُوا رَئِيسًا لِيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى عُبُودِيَّتِهِمْ. وَأَنْتَ إِلهٌ غَفُورٌ وَحَنَّانٌ وَرَحِيمٌ، طَوِيلُ الرُّوحِ وَكَثِيرُ الرَّحْمَةِ، فَلَمْ تَتْرُكْهُمْ.

Read in Logos

Nehemiah 9:17: They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them.
