He encourages them that, even if they feel few or forgotten, God is able to bless and multiply them again. The Lord promises comfort, fruitfulness, and joy to his people, no matter how dry or empty their situation may seem. v. 1 : God speaks to those who want to live rightly and are searching for him. Hearken to me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the Lord . He tells them to remember where they came from: Look to the rock whence you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence you were digged . This means they should remember their humble beginnings and understand that God’s grace has brought them this far.
