The Lord says to his people,“ I showed you my wonders when you came out of Egypt long ago. In the same way, I will show them to you again.”

耶和华说：“我要把奇事显给他们看，好像出埃及地的时候一样。”

我要显奇事给他们看，好像出埃及地的时候一样。

我要显奇事给他们看，好像出埃及地的时候一样。

耶和华说：“我要向他们显出神迹奇事，就像他们离开埃及时一样。”

就像你从埃及地出来的时候一样，把奇事显给我们看（按照《马索拉文本》，“把奇事显给我们看”作“我必把奇事显给他看”）。

耶和華說：我要把奇事顯給他們看，好像出埃及地的時候一樣。

我要顯奇事給他們看，好像出埃及地的時候一樣。

我要顯奇事給他們看，好像出埃及地的時候一樣。

耶和華說：「我要向他們顯出神蹟奇事，就像他們離開埃及時一樣。」

就像你從埃及地出來的時候一樣，把奇事顯給我們看（按照《馬索拉文本》，“把奇事顯給我們看”作“我必把奇事顯給他看”）。

就像你出埃及地的日子一樣、把奇事顯給我們看哦。

我將以異蹟示爾、如出埃及地之日、

耶和華曰、昔我導爾出埃及、我之經綸、於以顯著、今而後必再顯著焉、

主曰、我必復顯示異跡、與爾出伊及之時無異、

“ As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show them my wonders.”

As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.

“ Yes,” says the Lord,“ I will do mighty miracles for you, like those I did when I rescued you from slavery in Egypt.”

I will perform miracles for them as in the days of your exodus from the land of Egypt.

“ As in the days when you went out from the land of Egypt, I will show you miracles.”

“ As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt, I will show them wonders.”

As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto them marvellous things.

I will perform miracles for them as in the days of your exodus from the land of Egypt.

According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous[ things].

“ As in the days when you departed from the land of Egypt, I will show you miraculous deeds.”

“ As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”

He did miracles right in front of their people who lived long ago. At that time they were living in Egypt, in the area of Zoan.God parted the Red Sea and led them through it. He made the water stand up like a wall.He guided them with the cloud during the day. He led them with the light of a fire all night long.He broke the rocks open in the desert. He gave them as much water as there is in the oceans.He brought streams out of a rocky cliff. He made water flow down like rivers.But they continued to sin against him. In the desert they refused to obey the Most High God.They were stubborn and tested God. They ordered him to give them the food they wanted.They spoke against God. They said,“ Can God really put food on a table in the desert?It is true that he struck the rock, and streams of water poured out. Huge amounts of water flowed down. But can he also give us bread? Can he supply meat for his people?”When the Lord heard what they said, he was very angry. His anger broke out like fire against the people of Jacob. He became very angry with Israel.That was because they didn’t believe in God. They didn’t trust in his power to save them.But he gave a command to the skies above. He opened the doors of the heavens.He rained down manna for the people to eat. He gave them the grain of heaven.Mere human beings ate the bread of angels. He sent them all the food they could eat.He made the east wind blow from the heavens. By his power he caused the south wind to blow.He rained down meat on them like dust. He sent them birds like sand on the seashore.He made the birds come down inside their camp. The birds fell all around their tents.People ate until they couldn’t eat any more. He gave them what they had wanted.But even before they had finished eating, God acted. He did it while the food was still in their mouths.His anger rose up against them. He put to death the strongest among them. He struck down Israel’s young men.But even after all that, they kept on sinning. Even after the wonderful things he had done, they still didn’t believe.So he brought their days to an end like a puff of smoke. He ended their years with terror.Every time God killed some of them, the others would seek him. They gladly turned back to him again.They remembered that God was their Rock. They remembered that God Most High had set them free.But they didn’t mean it when they praised him. They lied to him when they spoke.They turned away from him. They weren’t faithful to the covenant he had made with them.But he was full of tender love. He forgave their sins and didn’t destroy his people. Time after time he held back his anger. He didn’t let all his burning anger blaze out.He remembered that they were only human. He remembered they were only a breath of air that drifts by and doesn’t return.How often they refused to obey him in the desert! How often they caused him sorrow in that dry and empty land!Again and again they tested God. They made the Holy One of Israel sad and angry.They didn’t remember his power. They forgot the day he set them free from those who had treated them so badly.They forgot how he had shown them his signs in Egypt. They forgot his miracles in the area of Zoan.He turned the river of Egypt into blood. The people of Egypt couldn’t drink water from their streams.He sent large numbers of flies that bit them. He sent frogs that destroyed their land.He gave their crops to the grasshoppers. He gave their food to the locusts.He destroyed their vines with hail. He destroyed their fig trees with sleet.He killed their cattle with hail. Their livestock were struck by lightning.Because he was so angry with Egypt, he caused them to have great trouble. In his great anger he sent destroying angels against them.God prepared a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their lives. He gave them over to the plague.He killed the oldest son of each family in Egypt. He struck down the oldest son in every house in the land of Ham.But he brought his people out like a flock. He led them like sheep through the desert.He guided them safely, and they weren’t afraid. But the Red Sea swallowed up their enemies.And so he brought his people to the border of his holy land. He led them to the central hill country he had taken by his power.He drove out the nations to make room for his people. He gave to each family a piece of land to pass on to their children. He gave the tribes of Israel a place to make their homes.But they tested God. They refused to obey the Most High God. They didn’t keep his laws.They were like their people who lived long ago. They turned away from him and were not faithful. They were like a bow that doesn’t shoot straight. They couldn’t be trusted.They made God angry by going to their high places. They made him jealous by worshiping the statues of their gods.When God saw what the people were doing, he was very angry. He turned away from them completely.He deserted the holy tent at Shiloh. He left the tent he had set up among his people.He allowed the ark to be captured. Into the hands of his enemies he sent the ark where his glory rested.He let his people be killed by swords. He was very angry with them.Fire destroyed their young men. Their young women had no one to marry.Their priests were killed by swords. Their widows weren’t able to weep.Then the Lord woke up as if he had been sleeping. He was like a warrior waking up from the deep sleep caused by wine.He drove back his enemies. He put them to shame that will last forever.He turned his back on the tents of the people of Joseph. He didn’t choose to live in the tribe of Ephraim.Instead, he chose to live in the tribe of Judah. He chose Mount Zion, which he loved.There he built his holy place as secure as the heavens. He built it to last forever, like the earth.He chose his servant David. He took him from the sheep pens.He brought him from tending sheep to be the shepherd of his people Jacob. He made him the shepherd of Israel, his special people.David cared for them with a faithful and honest heart. With skilled hands he led them.

There was a road the people of Israel used when they came up from Egypt. In the same way, there will be a wide road coming out of Assyria. It will be used by the Lord’ s people who are left alive there.

So I will reach out my hand. I will strike the Egyptians with all the amazing things I will do. After that, their king will let you go.

Wake up, arm of the Lord! Wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes! Wake up, just as you did in the past. Wake up, as you did long ago. Didn’t you cut Rahab to pieces? Didn’t you stab that sea monster to death?

Other days are also coming,” announces the Lord.“ At that time people will no longer say,‘ The Lord brought the Israelites up out of Egypt. And that’s just as sure as he is alive.’Instead, they will say,‘ The Lord brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north. He gathered them out of all the countries where he had forced them to go. And that’s just as sure as he is alive.’ Then they will live in their own land.”

Then his people remembered what he did long ago. They recalled the days of Moses and his people. They asked,“ Where is the God who brought Israel through the Red Sea? Moses led them as the shepherd of his flock. Where is the God who put his Holy Spirit among them?He used his glorious and powerful arm to help Moses. He parted the waters of the sea in front of them. That mighty act made him famous forever.He led them through that deep sea. Like a horse in open country, they didn’t trip and fall.They were like cattle that are taken down to the plains. They were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.” That’s how he guided his people. So he made a glorious name for himself.Lord, look down from heaven. Look down from your holy and glorious throne. Where is your great love for us? Where is your power? Why don’t you show us your tender love and concern?

The Lord says,“ I will bring your enemies from Bashan. I will bring them up from the bottom of the sea.
