Isaiah 63:13

Will you not from this time cry to me, ‘My Father, you are the guide of my youth?’

You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.

By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Has Yahweh’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”

the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.

Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,

to him who divided the Red Sea apart; for his loving kindness endures forever;

and made Israel to pass through the middle of it; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.

“In those days, and in that time,” says Yahweh, “the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping, and will seek Yahweh their God.

Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son.”

Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

It shall be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off. The waters that come down from above shall stand in one heap.”

The priests who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.

They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

Yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.

Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”

“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.

Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says Yahweh.

He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.

The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.” ’ ”

The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

They traveled from before Hahiroth, and crossed through the middle of the sea into the wilderness. They went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah.

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.

he led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;

I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.

Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,

Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness sustained him.

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, “Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?”

There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.

But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.

I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”

“But I said, ‘How I desire to put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations!’ and I said, ‘You shall call me “My Father”, and shall not turn away from following me.’

A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping and the petitions of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Yahweh their God.

Don’t you fear me?’ says Yahweh ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’

Now, because you have done all these works,” says Yahweh, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn’t hear; and I called you, but you didn’t answer;

“You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

“The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment; but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and you have not listened to me.

I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Every one of you must return now from his evil way, amend your doings, and don’t go after other gods to serve them, then you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers:’ but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.

“Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.’ ”

They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to engraved images.

They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.

Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”

Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.

Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.

For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.

He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

Why, when I came, was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.

They will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.

Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”

You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.

For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
