Context of Isaiah 63:12

10But they rebelled and offended his holy Spirit, so he turned into an enemy and fought against them. 11His people remembered the ancient times. Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea, along with the shepherd of his flock? Where is the one who placed his holy Spirit among them, the one who made his majestic power available to Moses, who divided the water before them, gaining for himself a lasting reputation, 13who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land they did not stumble. 14Like an animal that goes down into a valley to graze, so the Spirit of the Lord granted them rest. In this way you guided your people, gaining for yourself an honored reputation.
