Wisdom 11:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 they withstood enemies and warded off their foes.(A)
4 When they thirsted, they called upon you,
and water was given them from the sheer rock,
a quenching of their thirst from the hard stone.
5 For by the things through which their foes were punished
they in their need were benefited.(B)
