declaring by that thirst then how thou hadst punished their adversaries.
You showed your people through their own experience of thirst how you punished their opponents.
and while they would be crushed into disgrace because of the murdering of infants, you unexpectedly gave your own abundant water,
And whilst they were diminished for a manifest reproof of their murdering the infants, thou gavest to thine abundant water unlooked for:
having shown by the thirst which they had suffered how you punished the adversaries.
You mercifully let your people go thirsty for a while to show how severely you would punish their ungodly enemies in your anger.
