Context of Isaiah 63:10
8The Lord said, ‘Surely, they are my own people. As my children, they will not turn against me.’ So he became their Saviour. 9When his people suffered, he also had pain. He sent his own angel to go and save them. Because he loved them and he was kind to them, he redeemed them. He lifted them up and he carried them, through all the years long ago. But they turned against him. They made his Holy Spirit angry. So he then became their enemy. He fought against them. 11Then they remembered past years, when Moses led their ancestors out of Egypt. They said, ‘Where is the Lord now, when we need him? He brought his people safely through the sea, with Moses as their leader. He caused his Holy Spirit to work among them. 12He caused his power to be with Moses, as Moses raised his arm over the sea. He caused the waters to become separate so that his people could go across. In that way, he caused his name always to be famous.
