How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,

verse 26

And the cornlands and the goodly sites

verse 27

And pleasant things wherein they took delight!

And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

thoughts

verse 30

And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;

The food of the sinner!

Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies
