Isaiah 63:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹It troubled the Lord
to see them in trouble,
and his angel saved them.^[a]
The Lord was truly merciful,
so he rescued his people.
He took them in his arms
and carried them all those years.

¹⁰Then the Lord's people
turned against him and made
    his Holy Spirit sad.
So he became their enemy
    and attacked them.
¹¹But his people remembered
what had happened
    during the time of Moses.^[b]
Didn't the Lord^[c] bring them
and their leaders
    safely through the sea?
Didn't he^[d] give them
    his Holy Spirit?
