3 Maccabees 2:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ When the arrogant ruler of Egypt enslaved your holy people Israel, you tested him with many, varied punishments. You made your power known; indeed, you made known your great strength. ⁷ When the ruler of Egypt pursued Israel with chariots and a multitude of people, you overwhelmed him with the depth of the sea. But those who trusted in you, the one who holds power over all creation—these people you brought safely through the sea. ⁸ And when they saw your powerful work, they praised you, the almighty.
