30
If you are so angry with your own people, you yourself ought to punish them."
31
When I had finished speaking, the angel who had come to me on a previous night was sent to me again.
32
He said, "Listen carefully to me, and I will teach you more."
33
"Please go on, sir," I said. So he continued, "Are you worried about the people of Israel? Do you think you love them more than God, who made them?"
34
"No, sir," I replied. "I spoke as I did because I was so confused and upset. I am always troubled whenever I try to think about the ways of God Most High or to understand even a small part of what he does."
