Context of Isaiah 63:12

10But 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. He 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. 13He led them through the deep water of the sea. They ran across like horses on open ground, and they did not fall. 14The Lord's Spirit led them to a place of rest, like cows that go down to a quiet valley.’ Yes, Lord, you were your people's guide. In that way, you made your name great.
