Nehemiah 9:18-25 And still farther they even made for themselves a molded calf, and said, These are the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they worked great provocations.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ And still farther they even made for themselves a molded calf, and said, These are the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they worked great provocations. ¹⁹ Yet You in Your great mercy did not forsake them in the wilderness; You did not turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day, to guide them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to enlighten for them the way in which they should walk. ²⁰ And You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, and You did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, and gave them water in their thirst. ²¹ And You sustained them forty years in the wilderness; You did not allow anything to fail them. Their garments did not wear out, and their feet were not bruised. ²² Moreover, You gave them kingdoms, and divided nations to them; and they inherited the land of Sihon, king of Hesbron, and the land of Og king of Bashan. ²³ And You multiplied their children as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land of which You spoke to their fathers; ²⁴ And they inherited it; and You destroyed from before them the inhabitants in the land of the Canaanites, and You gave into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do unto them as it pleased them. ²⁵ And they took lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells already dug, vineyards and olive yards, and every fruit tree in abundance. So they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and delighted themselves in Your great goodness.
