Nehemiah 9:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ “You divided the sea before them,
and they passed through the sea on dry ground.
However, their pursuers you hurled into the depths
    like a stone cast into turbulent waters.
¹² By a pillar of cloud you led them by day,
    and by a pillar of fire during the night,
to light the way ahead of them
    along which they were to follow.
¹³ “You came down on Mount Sinai
    and spoke with them from heaven.
You gave them regulations and laws
    that are just and right,
    statutes and commandments that are good.
