ISV(i)
12 You led them during the day by a pillar of cloud, and by a pillar of fire at night to provide light for them on the path they took.
13 “You also came down to Mount Sinai, spoke with them from heaven, and gave them impartial regulations, true laws, statutes, and good commands.
14 You revealed to them your holy Sabbath, and you mandated precepts, statutes, and laws through Moses your servant.
15 You gave them food from heaven for their hunger and water from the rock for their thirst. You directed them to enter and possess the land that you had promised to give them.
16 “But they—our ancestors—became arrogant and stubborn, refusing to listen to your commands.
17 They would not listen, and did not remember the miracles you did among them. Instead, they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return them to their slavery. “But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in gracious love; therefore you did not abandon them.
18 Moreover, after they had cast a golden calf for themselves, they said, “This is your god who brought you out of Egypt!” and committed terrible blasphemies.
19 You, in your great compassion, did not abandon them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud did not leave them in daylight, in order to provide light for them on the path they took. Nor did the pillar of fire abandon them at night, in order to provide light for them and lead them on the path they took.
20 “You gave your good Spirit to instruct them, not withholding manna from them, and providing water to quench their thirst.
21 You sustained them in the wilderness for 40 years. They lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell.
