Yes, and my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God

To light the way for them
In which they were to go.

A calf of cast metal
And said, ‘This is your god
Who brought you up from Egypt,’

Did not abandon them in the wilderness;
The pillar of the cloud did not leave them by day,
To lead them in the way,
Nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way they should go.

And He teaches the humble His way.

By abandoning (rejecting) the Lord your God
When He led you in the way?
