Nehemiah 9:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹     you, in your great mercy, didn’t abandon them in the wilderness.
        The column of cloud continued to guide them on their journey during the day,
            and the column of lightning lit their path during the night.
²⁰ You gave your good spirit to teach them.
        You didn’t withhold your manna from them,
        and you gave them water for their thirst.
²¹ You kept them alive for forty years—
        they lacked nothing in the wilderness!
        Their clothes didn’t wear out,
            and their feet didn’t swell.
