GRACE Nehemiah 9:17-18 Part 4 of 4

"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 destroy them, even when they cast for themselves an image of a calf and said, 'This is your god who brought you up out of Egypt,' or when they committed awful blasphemies."  

Therefore you did not destroy them 
Psalm 78:11  They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them.
Ezekiel 5:6  "Yet in her wickedness she has rebelled against my laws and decrees more than the nations and countries around her. She has rejected my laws and has not followed my decrees."

even when they cast for themselves an image of a calf 
Exodus 32:4  He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."

or when they committed awful blasphemies 
Exodus 20:23  " 'Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.' "
