Nehemiah 9:17, 31

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.

Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You did not make an end of them or forsake them, For You are a gracious and compassionate God.
