Nehemiah 9:17
9:17 They refused to obey and did not recall your miracles that you had performed among them. Instead, they rebelled and appointed a leader to return to their bondage in Egypt.
But you are a God of forgiveness, merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and unfailing in your loyal love.
You did not abandon them,

and sinful people their plans.
They should return to the Lord, and he will show mercy to them,
and to their God, for he will freely forgive them.

9:9 Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving,
even though we have rebelled against him.
Micah 7:18
7:18 There is no other God like you!
You forgive sin
and pardon the rebellion
of those who remain among your people.
You do not remain angry forever,
but delight in showing loyal love.
