Exodus 15:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ You blew on the sea and the water piled up high;
    it stood up straight like a wall;
    the deepest part of the sea became solid.
⁹ The enemy said, ‘I will pursue them and catch them;
    I will divide their wealth and take all I want;
    I will draw my sword and take all they have.’
¹⁰ But one breath from you, Lord, and the Egyptians were drowned;
    they sank like lead in the terrible water.
