Isaiah 63:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ The people had many troubles,
    but he was not against them.
He loved them and felt sorry for them,
    so he saved them.
He sent his special angel to save them.
    He picked them up and carried them, just as he did long ago.
¹⁰ But they turned against him
    and made his Holy Spirit very sad.
So the Lord became their enemy
    and fought against them.
