The King James Version Bible

Nehemiah 9:16-17

  1. But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,

  2. And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
