Yesaya 51:10

51:10 Did you not dry up the sea,

the waters of the great deep?

Did you not make ¹  a path through the depths of the sea,

so those delivered from bondage ²  could cross over?

Yesaya 51:13

51:13 Why do you forget ³  the Lord, who made you,

who stretched out the sky ⁴ 

and founded the earth?

Why do you constantly tremble all day long ⁵ 

at the anger of the oppressor,

when he makes plans to destroy?

Where is the anger of the oppressor? ⁶ 

Yesaya 63:12-13

63:12 the one who made his majestic power available to Moses, ⁷ 

who divided the water before them,

gaining for himself a lasting reputation, ⁸ 

63:13 who led them through the deep water?

Like a horse running on flat land ⁹  they did not stumble.
