New International Reader's Version

Isaiah 63:9-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. When they suffered, he suffered with them. He sent his angel to save them. He set them free because he is loving and kind. He lifted them up and carried them. He did it again and again in days long ago.

10. But they refused to obey him. They made his Holy Spirit sad. So he turned against them and became their enemy. He himself fought against them.

11. Then his people remembered what he did long ago. They recalled the days of Moses and his people. They asked, "Where is the One who brought Israel through the Red Sea? Moses led them as the shepherd of his flock. Where is the One who put his Holy Spirit among them?

12. He used his glorious and powerful arm to help Moses. He parted the waters of the sea in front of them. That mighty act made him famous forever.

13. He led them through that deep sea. Like a horse in open country, they didn't trip and fall.
