Neemias 9:17

17 Recusaram ouvir-te e não se lembraram das tuas maravilhas, que fizeste no meio deles. Foram teimosos e na sua rebelião escolheram um chefe, com o propósito de voltarem para a sua servidão no Egito. Porém tu, ó Deus perdoador, bondoso e compassivo, tardio em irar-te e grande em bondade, tu não os abandonaste,

17 And would not do them, and gave no thought to the wonders you had done among them; but made their necks stiff, and turning away from you, made a captain over themselves to take them back to their prison in Egypt: but you are a God of forgiveness, full of grace and pity, slow to wrath and great in mercy, and you did not give them up.
