The picture is terrible: Here are God's people, going backwards through the same desert they had been delivered from, returning for help to a boastful, bragging world system that could not move! They were willing to once again endure emptiness, pain, anguish - in a wilderness, looking to the world for help.
Ang larawan ay nakakikilabot: Narito ang taong-bayan ng Diyos, lumalakad ng patalikod patungo sa ilang na kung saan ay sila ay pinalaya, bumabalik upang humingi ng tulong sa mayabang, mapagmalaking kaparaanan ng sanlibutan na hindi makakilos. Ninanais nila na muling dumanas ng kawalan, hirap, hapis - dito sa ilang, naghahanap ng tulong sa sanlibutan.
