And I saw and spared some with great difficulty, and saved for myself one grape out of a cluster, and one plant out of a great forest.

"Now, if you will let seven days more pass—do not, however, fast during them,
24
but go into a field of flowers where no house has been built, and eat only of the flowers of the field, and taste no meat and drink no wine, but eat only flowers—
25
and pray to the Most High continually, then I will come and talk with you."
26

"O Lord, you showed yourself among us, to our ancestors in the wilderness when they came out from Egypt and when they came into the untrodden and unfruitful wilderness;
30
and you said, "Hear me, O Israel, and give heed to my words, O descendants of Jacob.
31
For I sow my law in you, and it shall bring forth fruit in you, and you shall be glorified through it forever.'
