Look at our bread. When we left home with it and started out to meet you, it was still warm. But look! Now it is dry and moldy.
Our leaders and all the people that live in our land told us to get some food ready for a trip and to go and meet you. We were told to put ourselves at your service and ask you to make a treaty with us.
When we filled these wineskins, they were new, but look! They are torn. Our clothes and sandals are worn out from the long trip.”
