Wisdom Of Solomon 19:5-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. So at the same time as your people began an incredible journey, their enemies found a strange death.

6. The whole creation began to take on a new shape in its very nature. It once again submitted to your commands so that your children might be kept unharmed.

7. A cloud appeared, casting its shadow over their camp. Dry land appeared where before there had been only water. It presented them an open path through the Red Sea, a grassy plain where before there had been only violent surf.

8. Those who were protected by your hand passed through as a single nation, seeing amazing wonders.

9. They were like horses ranging about and like lambs skipping along. They praised you, Lord, for you were rescuing them.
