27 After seven days I was lying on the grass, and once again my thoughts began to trouble me.
28 Then I began to speak and said to God Most High,
29 “O Lord, you revealed yourself to our ancestors when they were traveling through the trackless, barren desert after they had left Egypt. You said to them,
30 ‘Listen to me, people of Israel.
31 I am giving you my Law. It will be like a seed planted among you that produces fruit, and it will be your crowning glory forever.’
32 Our ancestors received the Law, but they disobeyed its commands. Yet the fruit of the Law was not destroyed—it could not be destroyed because it was yours.
33 Those who had received the Law were destroyed because they did not guard the good seed that was sown in them.
