God asks Israel [music] a painful
question. What wrong did your fathers
find in me that they have gone [music]
far from me? Was there a real reason to
leave the source of life? Prophet
mentions that God brought the Jewish
people to a good land, a land [music] of
fruit and abundance so they could eat of
its goodness. But instead of preserving
[music] the holiness of the land, they
defiled it and turned God's inheritance
into a place of abomination. The problem
was not only with the common people.
Even the priests [music] did not seek
God. The holy sages did not know him.
The leaders rebelled against him and the
prophets followed Baal and things that
are of no benefit. [music] Whoever
replaces trust in the Lord with foreign
trust will not succeed with [music]
them. The entire prophecy calls for the
Jews to return to the simple truth, not
to forsake the fountain of living
waters, not [music] to chase after
vanity, but to return to the word of the
Lord, who is the guide, the redeemer,
the savior, and the true source of life.
