¹⁶ Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
    having sex with just anyone?^[a]

    flourishing within your home.
Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees
    as they sit around your table.

²¹ They were not thirsty
    when he led them through the desert.
He divided the rock,
    and water gushed out for them to drink.

    they are a reward from him.

²⁶ Praise God, all you people of Israel;
    praise the Lord, the source of Israel’s life.

²⁸ So Israel will live in safety,
    prosperous Jacob in security,
in a land of grain and new wine,
    while the heavens drop down dew.

“Our sister, may you become
    the mother of many millions!
May your descendants be strong
    and conquer the cities of their enemies.”
