A stream came forth and became a great wide flood.
2It tore away all to itself and turned itself against the temple.
3Dams and buildings could not hold it, nor could the art of them who hold the waters.
4It was led over the whole land and laid hold of all.
5They who were on the dry sand, drank; their thirst was quieted and quenched, when the draught from the hand of the Highest was given.
6Blessed are the ministers of that draught, to whom the water of the Lord is entrusted.
7They have refreshed parched lips; they whose power was taken away, have gotten joy of heart and they have laid hold of souls, having poured in the breath, so that they should not die.
8They have raised up limbs which were fallen; they have given power to their openness and light unto their eyes.
