7For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.
8And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou who deliverest from all evil:
9For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.
10But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame: for thy mercy was ever by them, and healed them.
11For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.
12For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.
