"For by what things their enemies were punished, when their drink failed them, while the children of Israel abounded therewith and rejoiced:"
Wisdom 11:5

In context

3They stood against their enemies, and revenged themselves of their adversaries.

4They were thirsty, and they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the high rock, and a refreshment of their thirst out of the hard stone.

5For by what things their enemies were punished, when their drink failed them, while the children of Israel abounded therewith and rejoiced:

6By the same things they in their need were benefited.

7For instead of a fountain of an ever running river, thou gavest human blood to the unjust.
