Chap. XI.
note
Other benefites of wisdom, protecting the Israelites in the desert; 3. ouerthrowing
their enimies; 4. geuing them water out of a rocke; 8. plaguing
the Ægyptians, 21. yet not al sudenly, but by often admonitions, that
they might haue repented if they would.
1 She directed their workes in the handes of note a holy prophet.
2 They made a iourney through the deserts, that were not
inhabited: and in desert places they pitched cottages.
3 They
stood against note the aduersaries, and reuenged themselues of
the enemies.
4 They thirsted, and inuocated thee, and water
was geuen them out of a most high rorcke, and quenching of
their thirst out of the hard stone.
5 For by the thinges wherby
their enemies suffered punishment, for defect of their drinke,
and therein, when the children of Israel abunded, they did
reioyce;
6 by these thinges, when others lacked the same, it
-- --
went wel with them.
7 For in steede of the fountaine of an
euerlasting riuer, thou gauest mans bloud to the vniust.
8 Who
when they were diminished in the destruction of the murdered
infants, thou gauest them abundant vnlooked for:
9 shewing
by the thirst, that then was, how thou didst exalt thine,
& didst kil their aduersaries.
10 For when note they were tempted,
and in deede with mercie taking discipline, they knew how
note the impious being iudged with wrath did suffer torments.
11 These certes admonishing as a father thou didst proue: but
them examining as a hard king thou didst condemne.
12 For
the absent and the present were tormented alike.
13 For duble
tediousnes had taken them, and sighing with the memorie of
good thinges past.
14 For when they vnderstood note by their
punishement that it went wel with them, they remembred
our Lord, merueling at the end of the euent.
15 For note whom
before they derided, being cast forth in that wicked laying out
to perish, him they merueled at in the end of the euent: not
thirsting in like maner to the iust:
16 but for senseles cogitations
of their iniquitie, for that note some erring did worshippe
dumme serpents, and superfluous beasts, thou didst send vpon
them a multitude of dumme beasts for reuenge:
17 that they
might know that by what thinges a man sinneth, by the same
also he is tormented.
18 For thine omnipotent hand, which
made the world of inuisible matter, was not vnable to send
vpon them a multitude of beares, or fierce lyons,
19 or vnknowen
beasts ful of anger of a new kind; or breathing the
vapour of fires, or casting forth the sauour of smoke, or shooting
horrible sparkes from their eies:
20 of which not onlie
their hurt was able to destroy them, but also their sight to kil
them for feare.
21 Yea and without these with one spirit, they
might haue beene slaine suffering persecution of their owne
factes, and dispersed by the spirit of thy powre: but thou hast
disposed al thinges in measure, and number, and weight.
22 For, to be of great force rested alwaies in thee onlie: & who
shal resist the powre of thyne arme?
23 Because as the least
weight of the balance, so is the round world before thee, and
as a droppe of the dewe before day, that falleth vpon the
earth.
24 But thou hast mercie on al, because thou canst do al
thinges, and dissemblest the sinnes of men for repentance.
25 For thou note louest al thinges that are, and hatest nothing of
those which thou hast made: for thou didst not ordaine, or
-- --
make any thing hating it.
26 And how could any thing continew,
vnles thou wouldest? or be preserued which was not
called of thee?
27 But thou sparest al: because they are thine
ô Lord, which louest soules.
