5
When your people were in need, they were blessed with the very things that you used to punish their enemies.
6
So instead of a source of fresh water, your enemies found their own flowing river to be polluted with blood and gore. It was a judgment on those who killed their own children.
7
But you gave your people water in greater abundance than they could possibly imagine.
8
You showed your people through their own experience of thirst how you punished their opponents.
9
When your people were put to the test, you disciplined them, but you also showed mercy. But they learned from this how harshly the ungodly were tormented when you judged them.
