וַיְמָאֲנ֣וּ לִשְׁמֹ֡עַ וְלֹ֡א זָכְר֡וּ נִפְלְאֹתֶ֡יךָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשִׂ֡יתָ עִמָּהֶ֡ם וַיַּקְשׁ֡וּ אֶת עָרְפָּ֡ם וַיִּתְּנ֡וּ רֹ֡אשׁ לָשׁ֣וּב לְעַבְדוּתָ֡ם בְּמִרְיָ֡ם וְאַתָּ֡ה אֱל֡וֹהַּ סְלִיח֡וֹת חַנּ֡וּן וְרַח֡וּם אֶ֡רֶךְ אַפַּ֡יִם וְרַב חֶ֡סֶד וְלֹ֡א עֲזַבְתָּֽם׃

King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them.
