12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was (E)none to help.
13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.

And broke their chains in pieces.

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea (D)returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord (E)overthrew[c] the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 Then (F)the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.

Genesis 7:11-20
New King James Version
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on (A)that day all (B)the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the (C)windows of heaven were opened. 12 (D)And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark— 14 (E)they and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every (F)sort. 15 And they (G)went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life. 16 So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in (H)as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in.
17 (I)Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 18 The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, (J)and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered. 20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
