god. I am the Lord, your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt.<sup>1</sup> Whenever you need Me, open your mouth wide. Ask Me for what you need, and I will fulfill it. But, says God, My people did not listen to My voice; the Children of Israel did not want to listen to Me. So I sent them away into exile for following what their hearts saw and wanted, for following their evil plans. If only My people would listen to Me, if only the Children of Israel would walk in My ways, I would quickly subdue their enemies, and I would turn My hand against their oppressors. Then, those enemies, who hate the Lord, would deny to Him about ever having harmed us, in the hope of being saved. But their time of punishment would last forever. Furthermore, says God, I would feed the Jewish Nation with the best wheat, like the manna I gave them when they were traveling in the desert; and I would satisfy them with honey from a rock, like the sweet water I gave in the desert.
