Exodus 14:10-15

New King James Version

¹⁰And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel ^(A)cried out to the Lord. ¹¹^(B)Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? ¹²^(C)Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”

¹³And Moses said to the people, ^(D)“Do not be afraid. ^(E)Stand still, and see the ^(F)salvation^[a] of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall ^(G)see again no more forever. ¹⁴^(H)The Lord will fight for you, and you shall ^(I)hold^[b] your peace.”

¹⁵And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.

New International Version

¹⁰As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried^(A) out to the Lord. ¹¹They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?^(B) What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? ¹²Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”^(C)

¹³Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid.^(D) Stand firm and you will see^(E) the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see^(F) again. ¹⁴The Lord will fight^(G) for you; you need only to be still.”^(H)
