Isaiah 63:10-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. But they rebelled,and made God’s holy spirit terribly sad,so that he turned into their enemy—he fought against them!

11. Then they remembered earlier times,when he rescued his people.Where was the one who drew them up from the sea,the shepherd of the flock?Where was the one who put within them his holy spirit;

12. the one who guided Moses’ strong handwith his glorious arm;who split the water for themto create an enduring reputation for himself,

13. and who guided them through the depths?Like a horse in the desert, they didn’t stumble.

14. Like cattle descending to the valley,the Lord’s spirit brought them to rest.In this way you led your peopleand made for yourself a glorious reputation.

15. Look down from heaven and see,from your holy and glorious perch.Where are your energy and your might,your concern and your pity?Don’t hold back!

16. You are surely our father,even though Abraham doesn’t know us,and Israel doesn’t recognize us.You, Lord, are our father;your reputation since long ago is that of our redeemer.
