Nehemiah 9:19-27

         19.  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.  20.  Thou gavest 
        also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and 
        gavest them water for their thirst.  21.  Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the 
        wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet 
        swelled not.  22.  Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them 
        into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, 
        and the land of Og king of Bashan.  23.  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.

         24.  So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the 
        inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their 
        kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.  25.  And 
        they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells 
        digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were 
        filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.

         26.  Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law 
        behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to 
        thee, and they wrought great provocations.  27.  Therefore thou deliveredst them into the 
        hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried 
        unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou 
        gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

        mercies, and their rebellions.
