Nehemiah 9:11-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

11. You divided the sea before them, so that they went through its midst on dry land; their persecutors You threw into the depths, as a stone into mighty waters.

12. Moreover, by a pillar of cloud You led them by day, and by a pillar of fire by night to light the way they should go.

13. You came down also upon Mount Sinai and spoke with them from Heaven and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments.

14. And You made known to them Your holy Sabbath and gave them commandments, statutes, and a law through Moses Your servant.

15. You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger and brought water for them out of the rock for their thirst; and You told them to go in and possess the land You had sworn to give them. [John 6:31-34.]

16. But they and our fathers acted presumptuously and stiffened their necks, and did not heed Your commandments.
