Nehemiah 9:19-21

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁹ still, you, in your great compassion,
did not abandon them in the desert.
The column of cloud did not leave them by day;
it kept leading them along the way.
By night the column of fire
kept showing them light and the path to take.
²⁰ You also gave your good Spirit to teach them,
did not withhold man from their mouths
and provided them water to quench their thirst.
²¹ Yes, forty years you sustained them in the desert;
they lacked nothing —
their clothes did not wear out;
their feet did not swell up.
