Wisdom Of Solomon 11:1-8 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. She caused their works to prosper by the hand of the holy prophet.

2. They wandered through a desert in which no one lived. They set up their tents in the midst of desolate surroundings.

3. They opposed those who fought against them and defended themselves from their enemies.

4. They thirsted and cried out to you. You gave them water from a sharp rock, and their thirst was quenched by liquid from that hard stone.

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.
