“But did your ancestors listen? No, they set their jaws in defiance. They shut their ears.

And God became angry, really angry, because he told them everything plainly and they wouldn’t listen to a word he said. “So [this is what God-of-the-Angel-Armies said] if they won’t listen to me, I won’t listen to them. I scattered them to the four winds. They ended up strangers wherever they were. Their ‘promised land’ became a vacant lot—weeds and tin cans and thistles. Not a sign of life. They turned a dreamland into a wasteland.”
