Rashi, on Neh 9:30

“And thou didst forbear with them for many years, and didst testify against them by thy spirit by the hand of thy prophets: and they heard not, and thou didst deliver them into the hand of the people of the lands.”

“But You extended upon them You extended mercy upon them not to destroy them.”
