Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 9 of Nehemiah. The people rebelled and made the calf, but God did not abandon them. The cloud and fire, manna, and water recall persistent provision amid unfaithfulness. The prayer deliberately contrasts divine constancy with human inconsistency.

Vierzig Jahre versorgtest du sie in der Wüste, daß ihnen nichts mangelte. Ihre Kleider veralteten nicht und ihre Füße zerschwollen nicht.
Y sustentástelos cuarenta años en el desierto; de ninguna cosa tuvieron necesidad: sus vestidos no se envejecieron, ni se hincharon sus pies.
Durante cuarenta años los sustentaste en el desierto y nada les faltó. Sus ropas no se desgastaron ni se hincharon sus pies.
Pendant quarante ans, tu pourvus à leur entretien dans le désert, et ils ne manquèrent de rien, leurs vêtements ne s'usèrent point, et leurs pieds ne s'enflèrent point.
E li sostentasti quarant’anni nel deserto, e non mancò loro nulla; i lor vestimenti non si logorarono, e i lor piedi non si calterirono.
De tal modo os sustentaste quarenta anos no deserto; nada lhes faltou; as suas roupas não se envelheceram, e os seus pés não se incharam.
在曠野四十年,你養育他們,他們一無所缺,衣服沒有穿破,腳也沒有腫。
