Wisdom 11:1-8

1 She prospered their works in the hand of the holy prophet.
2 They went through the wilderness that was not inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay no way.
3 They stood against their enemies and were avenged on their adversaries.
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.
5 For by what things their enemies were punished, by the same they in their need were benefited.
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 declaring by that thirst then how Thou hadst punished their adversaries.
