Exodus 15:7-23 World English Bible (WEB)

7. In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.

8. With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

14. The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

15. Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

18. Yahweh shall reign forever and ever.”
