Nehemiah 9:17

17“They refused to listen and obey,

And did not remember Your wondrous acts which You had performed among them;

So they stiffened their necks and [in their rebellion] appointed a leader in order to return them to slavery in Egypt.

But You are a God of forgiveness,

Gracious and merciful and compassionate,

9:17 Lit with a long nose.Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness;

And You did not abandon them. [Num 14:4]
