In the last trio of petitions the Lord begins with the prayer for our bodily needs : " Give us this day our daily bread . In a mordant passage in the City of God , Augustine , chiding Porphyry for proclaiming his devotion to the God of the Hebrews while venerating lesser gods , cites the words from Exodus : " Anyone who sacrifices to other gods instead of to the Lord alone will be extirpated .
