11 But afterward they changed their minds and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again.
They seem pretty ridiculous making a covenant then forgetting it and doing what they want--the results were pretty ominous they become like the calf haves and food for the birds.
But how many times have I prayed for something received a blessing from God then returned on my merry way becoming distant from God again until I have another need. Maybe not quite as explicit as a covenant but a behavior no more noble. I am thankful for the blessing I have and for the gift of grace Jesus provides. amen.

I like your take as well. I've done the same thing, again and again.
