Nehemiah 9:19-21

Good News Translation

^19 (A)But you did not abandon them there in the desert,
    for your mercy is great.
You did not take away the cloud or the fire
    that showed them the path by day and night.
²⁰ In your goodness you told them what they should do;
    you fed them manna and gave them water to drink.
²¹ Through forty years in the desert
    you provided all that they needed;
    their clothing never wore out,
    and their feet were not swollen with pain.
