5. For even when terrible raging of wild beasts came upon your people, And they were perishing by the bites of crooked serpents, Your wrath continued not to the uttermost;
6. But for admonition were they troubled for a short space, Having a token of salvation, To put them in remembrance of the commandment of your law:
7. For he that turned toward it was not saved because of that which was seen, But because of you, the Saviour of all.
8. Yes, and in this did you persuade our enemies, That you are he that delivers out of every evil.
