Context of Isaiah 63:12

10But they rebelled, and grieved His Ruach ha-Kodesh. So He turned to become their enemy. He Himself fought against them. 11Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses: “Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put among them His Ruach ha-Kodesh? Who caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? Who divided the waters before them— to make Himself a Name forever? 13Who led them through the depths? Like a horse in the desert, they did not stumble. 14Like cattle that go down into a valley, the Ruach Adonai gave them rest. So You led Your people, to make Yourself a glorious Name.
