Nehemiah 9:9-16 New Century Version (NCV)

9. “You saw our ancestors suffering in Egyptand heard them cry out at the Red Sea.

10. You did signs and miracles against the king of Egypt,and against all his officers and all his people,because you knew how proud they were.You became as famous as you are today.

11. You divided the sea in front of our ancestors;they walked through on dry ground.But you threw the people chasing them into the deep water,like a stone thrown into mighty waters.

12. You led our ancestors with a pillar of cloud by dayand with a pillar of fire at night.It lit the waythey were supposed to go.

13. You came down to Mount Sinaiand spoke from heaven to our ancestors.You gave them fair rules and true teachings,good orders and commands.

14. You told them about your holy Sabbathand gave them commands, orders, and teachingsthrough your servant Moses.

15. When they were hungry, you gave them bread from heaven.When they were thirsty, you brought them water from the rock.You told them to enter and take overthe land you had promised to give them.

16. “But our ancestors were proud and stubbornand did not obey your commands.
