Nehemiah 9:17
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.

'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' — the divine character-portrait embedded in this prayer quotation from Exodus 34:6 ('merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abundant in lovingkindness') becomes the theological hinge: even at the nadir of Israel's rebellion, the divine response was characterized by the thirteen attributes of mercy rather than annihilation. The verse grounds post-exilic prayer in the same divine character that anchored Mosaic intercession, showing that God's character is the permanent basis of appeal across all historical contexts.

And would not do them, and gave no thought to the wonders you had done among them; but made their necks stiff, and turning away from you, made a captain over themselves to take them back to their prison in Egypt: but you are a God of forgiveness, full of grace and pity, slow to wrath and great in mercy, and you did not give them up.
