The Maidens about His Beloved:

there your mother conceived you,

there she who bore you was in labor of childbirth.

Isaiah 41:13

41:13 For I am the Lord your God,

the one who takes hold of your right hand,

who says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, I am helping you.’

Isaiah 63:12-14

63:12 the one who made his majestic power available to Moses,

who divided the water before them,

gaining for himself a lasting reputation,

63:13 who led them through the deep water?

Like a horse running on flat land they did not stumble.

63:14 Like 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.

I took them by the arm;

but they did not acknowledge

that I had healed them.

with leather ropes;

I lifted the yoke from their neck,

and gently fed them.
