When a father punishes his child, the suffering he inflicts on himself is
greater than anything experienced by the child. So it is with H'shem:
His pain is greater than our pain.

"When someone will ask what he will eat in the year of Shemittah, H'shem answers
that He will send His blessings. We may ask why the pasuk seems to say that one must
ask this question to receive this bounty. It sounds like if one doesn’t ask, he won’t receive the blessing? The Noam Elimelech (Parshas Behar) famously says in the name of his brother, Rav Zushe zt”l, that the pasuk is actually saying that this assurance of a new
blessing from H'shem is only necessary When one is concerned about what will be
and asks what he will eat. This is because the doubts this person has stopped the
original blessings that were in place, and a new blessing is needed. If one has emunah and does not ask, then he needs no new blessing because he will naturally receive
the originally intended blessing. yiddishevinkel.com
