11:4 When they were thirsty, they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was quenched out of the hard stone.
11:5 For by what things their enemies were punished, by the same they in their need were benefited.
11:6 For instead of a fountain of a perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,
11:7 For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:
11:8 Declaring by that thirst then how thou hadst punished their adversaries.
11:9 For when they were tried albeit but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.
11:10 For these thou didst admonish and try, as a father: but the other, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and punish.
11:11 Whether they were absent or present, they were vexed alike.
11:12 For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past.
11:13 For when they heard by their own punishments the other to be benefited, they had some feeling of the Lord.
