I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
God knew His people in the wilderness in the land of great drought by taking the forefathers of this country out of a land of oppression. He planted them among the people of the forest and sustained them there. While they remained humble He blessed them and fed them until they grew into a numerous people.
Once they had become numerous they grew proud and lifted up. They forgot the One who had nourished and protected them in the wilderness. They ran into every abomination and evil practice.
