Neh. 9:10,29• 10and didst show signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants, and upon all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them, and thou didst make thee a name, as it is this day.
29And thou testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law; but they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thine ordinances (which if a man do, he shall live in them); and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. (Neh. 9:10,29)
Deut. 9:6,13,23‑24,27• 6Know therefore that Jehovah thy God doth not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people.
13And Jehovah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
23And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you, ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
27Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin; (Deut. 9:6,13,23‑24,27)
Psa. 78:8‑72• 8And might not be as their fathers,{HR}A stubborn and rebellious generation,{HR}A generation that set (prepared) not their hearts,{HR}And whose spirit was not steadfast with God (El).
9The sons of Ephraim, armed bowmen,{HR}Turned in the day of battle.
10They kept not God's covenant{HR}And in his law refused to walk;
11And they forgot his deeds{HR}And his wondrous works{HR}Which he caused them to see.
12In the sight of their fathers{HR}He wrought wonders in the land of Egypt,{HR}The field of Zoan.
13He clave the sea and caused them to pass through{HR}And made the waters to stand as a heap;
14And he led them with a cloud by day{HR}And all the night with light of fire.
15He clave rocks in the wilderness,{HR}And gave drink as the depths abundantly,
16He brought streams from the rock (crag){HR}And caused waters to come down like the rivers.
17Yet they still went on to sin against him,{HR}To rebel against the Most High in the desert (dry);
18And they tempted God in their hearts{HR}By asking food for their lust (souls).
19And they spoke against God; they said,{HR}Shall God be able to furnish a table in the wilderness?
20Behold, he smote the rock,{HR}And waters gushed out,{HR}And streams overflowed;{HR}Can he give bread also,{HR}Or provide flesh for his people?
21Therefore Jehovah heard and was wroth;{HR}And fire was kindled against Jacob,{HR}And anger also went up against Israel;
22Because they believed not in God{HR}And trusted not in his salvation.
23Yet he commanded the skies above,{HR}And opened the doors of heaven,
24And he rained upon them manna to eat,{HR}And had given them the corn of the heavens.
25Man did eat the bread of the mighty;{HR}He sent them provision to the full.
26He led forth the east [wind] in the heavens,{HR}And by his strength guided the south [wind],
27And he rained flesh upon them as dust{HR}And winged fowl as sand of the sea,
28And let it fall in the midst of the camp{HR}Round about their habitations.
29And they did eat and were well filled.{HR}He brought to them their desire;
30They were not estranged from their desire;{HR}Their food [was] yet in their mouths,
31When God's anger went up against them and slew their fattest,{HR}And smote down the chosen of Israel.
32For all this they sinned still,{HR}And believed not in his wondrous works;
33He consumed their days in vanity,{HR}And their years in terror.
34When he slew them, then they enquired after him,{HR}And turned and sought God (El) eagerly.
35And they remembered that God [was] their rock,{HR}And God Most High their redeemer.
36And they flattered (enticed) him with their mouth,{HR}And lied to him with their tongue.
37And their heart was not firm with him,{HR}Nor were they steadfast in his covenant.
38But he mercifully forgave iniquity, and destroyed not,{HR}And often withdrew his anger and did not arouse all his wrath;
39And he remembered that they [were] flesh,{HR}A wind passing and not coming again.
40How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness{HR}And grieve him in the desert!
41And they turned again and tempted God ,{HR}And limited the Holy One of Israel.
42They remembered not his hand,{HR}The day when he delivered them from oppression,
43How he set his signs in Egypt{HR}And his wonders in the field of Zoan,
44And turned their rivers to blood,{HR}And their streams that they could not drink.
45He sent among them dogflies, and they devoured them;{HR}And frogs, and they destroyed them.
46And he gave their increase to the caterpillar,{HR}And their labour to the locust.
47He killed their vines with the hail,{HR}And their sycamore trees with the frost,
48And delivered their cattle to the hail{HR}And their flocks to the lightnings.
49He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,{HR}Wrath, and indignation, and distress,{HR}By sending angels of woes.
50He made a path for his anger,{HR}He withheld their soul from death,{HR}And their life he gave over to the pestilence;
51And he smote every first-born in Egypt,{HR}The first fruits of vigour in the tents of Ham.
52And he made his people go as the sheep,{HR}And guided them as the flock in the wilderness;
53And he led them safely, and they feared not;{HR}And the sea covered their enemies.
54And he brought them to the border of his holiness,{HR}This mountain his right hand purchased,
55And drove out before them nations,{HR}And allotted them by a line [for] an inheritance,{HR}And caused the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents..
56But they tempted and resisted God Most High,{HR}And kept not his testimonies,
57And revolted, and dealt treacherously like their fathers;{HR}They were turned like a deceitful bow.
58And they provoked him to anger with their high places,{HR}And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59God heard and was wroth{HR}And greatly abhorred Israel.
60And he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,{HR}His tent he pitched among men,
61And gave his strength into captivity,{HR}And his beauty into the oppressor's hand.
62And he gave over to the sword his people,{HR}And was wroth with his inheritance.
63The fire consumed their chosen,{HR}And their maidens were not praised in song;
64Their priests fell by the sword,{HR}And their widows wept not.
65And the Lord awoke as a sleeper,{HR}As a mighty man shouting aloud from wine;
66And he smote his adversaries backward{HR}And put them to everlasting reproach.
67And he rejected the tent of Joseph,{HR}And the tribe of Ephraim did not choose;
68And he chose the tribe of Judah,{HR}The mount Zion which he loved.
69And he built his sanctuary like high [places],{HR}Like the earth he founded forever.
70And he chose David his servant,{HR}And took him from the sheepfold;
71From behind suckling [ewes] he brought him{HR}To feed Jacob his people and Israel his inheritance.
72And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart,{HR}And in the skill of his hands he led them. (Psa. 78:8‑72)
