Exodus 15:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷What a great victory was yours,
when you defeated everyone
    who opposed you.
Your fiery anger wiped them out,
    as though they were straw.
⁸You were so furious
that the sea piled up
    like a wall,
and the ocean depths
    curdled like cheese.

⁹Your enemies boasted
that they would
pursue and capture us,
divide up our possessions,
treat us as they wished,
then take out their swords
and kill us right there.

    the waters piled up.^(E)

King James Version

⁷And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

⁸And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
