Nehemiah 9:17 in Context — Nehemiah 9
15 Tu leur donnas, du haut des cieux, du pain quand ils avaient faim, et tu fis sortir de l’eau du rocher quand ils avaient soif. Et tu leur dis d’entrer en possession du pays que tu avais juré de leur donner.
16 Mais nos pères se livrèrent à l’orgueil et raidirent leur cou. Ils n’écoutèrent point tes commandements,
17 ils refusèrent d’obéir, et ils mirent en oubli les merveilles que tu avais faites en leur faveur. Ils raidirent leur cou; et, dans leur rébellion, ils se donnèrent un chef pour retourner à leur servitude. Mais toi, tu es un Dieu prêt à pardonner, compatissant et miséricordieux, lent à la colère et riche en bonté, et tu ne les abandonnas pas,
18 même quand ils se firent un veau en fonte et dirent: Voici ton Dieu qui t’a fait sortir d’Égypte, et qu’ils se livrèrent envers toi à de grands outrages.
19 Dans ton immense miséricorde, tu ne les abandonnas pas au désert, et la colonne de nuée ne cessa point de les guider le jour dans leur chemin, ni la colonne de feu de les éclairer la nuit dans le chemin qu’ils avaient à suivre.
