6
For instead of a fountain of a perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,
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:
8

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.
10
For these thou didst admonish and try, as a father: but the other, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and punish.
