You alone are the Lord. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you. – The Bible Nehemiah 9:6
They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them. – The Bible Nehemiah 9:17
Every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. – The Bible Nehemiah 4:17
