Nehemiah 9:10-12

Contemporary English Version

^10 (A) You knew that the King of Egypt
and his officials and his nation
    had mistreated your people.
So you worked fearsome miracles
    against the Egyptians
and earned a reputation
    that still remains.
^11 (B) You divided the deep sea,
and your people walked through
    on dry land.
But you tossed their enemies in,
and they sank down
    like a heavy stone.
^12 (C) Each day you led your people
    with a thick cloud,
and at night you showed the way
    with a flaming fire.
