Exodus 15:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷In the greatness of your majesty
    you broke down your enemies.
You sent forth your anger,
    it consumed them like stubble.
⁸By the breath^[a] of your nostrils
    the waters were piled up,
the flowing waters stood up like a hill,
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹“The enemy said, ‘I’ll pursue them,^[b] I’ll overtake them,^[c]
    I’ll divide the spoil.
I’ll satisfy my anger^[d] on them,
    I’ll draw my sword,
        and my hand will bring them to ruin.’

Exodus 15:7-9

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.
