4 They were urged on by the destruction they deserved, and it made them forget what had already happened, so that they would be fully punished
5 by dying an unusual death and so that your people would have an amazing journey.
6 At your command the laws of nature were changed to protect your children from harm.
7 A cloud guided them, and dry land appeared like a field of grass in the middle of the Red Sea,
8 so that your people could see wonderful miracles and pass safely through under your protection.
9 They were like horses on an open range or like lambs leaping around, as they praised you for saving them.
10 And they still remembered what had happened in Egypt—the land was covered with gnats instead of animals, and the rivers were filled with frogs instead of fish.
