ما معنى هذا؟

شرح للأطفال
Imagine you're eating your favorite sandwich, and you don't stop to say thank you for the food or the people who made it. This verse is like saying, 'Do bad people really not know any better? They hurt God's people as if it's as easy as eating a sandwich, but they never think to thank or ask for help from God.'
