4 and when they were thirsty and prayed for your help, you made water flow from a solid rock.
5 Our Lord, your people were helped by the same disasters that were used to punish their enemies.
6 You turned the ever-flowing Nile River into filthy blood
7 to punish the Egyptians for ordering the Hebrew children to be killed, then you surprised everyone by providing your people with more than enough water to satisfy their thirst.
8-9 You mercifully let your people go thirsty for a while to show how severely you would punish their ungodly enemies in your anger.
10 You corrected your people like parents correcting their children as a warning, but you punished the others like a harsh king condemning a criminal.
11 All the Egyptians suffered—those who lived near your people and those who lived far away.
