Context of Isaiah 63:12

10But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them. 11Then 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? He 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. 14Like cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. You led your people this way to make a glorious name for yourself.
