Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Neh 9:16 - Dealt proudly

Notwithstanding all these singular and wonderful mercies; which he hitherto recounted to aggravate their sins, which he now comes to confess, and to lead them to a sincere and ingenuous grief and repentance for their sins, not only for the mischief which they brought upon themselves, but for the injury and indignity which they offered to God.

Dealt proudly i.e. sinned presumptuously, and with contempt of God, as scorning to submit their wills to God’ s.

Gill: Neh 9:16 - But they and our fathers dealt proudly // and hardened their necks // and hearkened not to thy commandments

But they and our fathers dealt proudly,.... Behaved in a haughty manner towards God, their kind benefactor:

and hardened their necks; refused to take the yoke of his law, as refractory oxen, that withdraw their necks from the yoke:

and hearkened not to thy commandments; to do them, though they promised they would, Exo 24:7.
