Exodus 15:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 What a great victory was yours,
when you defeated everyone
who opposed you.
Your fiery anger wiped them out,
as though they were straw.
8 You were so furious
that the sea piled up
like a wall,
and the ocean depths
curdled like cheese.
9 Your 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.

Exodus 15:7-9
New International Version
7 “In the greatness of your majesty(A)
you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;(B)
it consumed(C) them like stubble.
8 By the blast of your nostrils(D)
the waters piled up.(E)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;(F)
the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.(G)
9 The enemy boasted,
‘I will pursue,(H) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;(I)
I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
and my hand will destroy them.’

7 And 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.
8 And 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.
9 The 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.
