Nehemiah 9:17

The Nation Confesses

¹⁶ “But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly;
They became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments.
¹⁷ “They refused to listen,
And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You had performed among them;
So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt.
But You are a God of forgiveness,
Gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness;
And You did not forsake them.

A calf of molten metal
And said, ‘This is your God
Who brought you up from Egypt,’
And committed great blasphemies,
