Context of Isaiah 63:11
9In all their suffering, he suffered, and the angel of his presence saved them. He redeemed them because of his love and compassion; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of the past. 10But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them. Then he remembered the days of the past, the days of Moses and his people. Where is he who brought them out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among the flock? 12He made his glorious strength available at the right hand of Moses, divided the water before them to make an eternal name for himself, 13and led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble.
