“Humayo ka at sabihin mo kay Hananias: Ganito ang sabi ng Walang-Hanggan: Mga pamatok na kahoy ang binali mo, ngunit ang gagawin mo na kapalit ng mga iyon ay mga pamatok na bakal.
Sifrei Devarim
An analogy: A man had a calf, which he groomed, curried, and fed vetch — to groom him for plowing! When the calf was grown, his master placed the yoke upon it — at which it bolted, broke the yoke, and snapped its ends, viz. (Jeremiah 28:13) "You broke yokes of wood, etc."
