8
Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9
There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
10
I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11
"But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would have none of me.
12
So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels.
13
O that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their foes.
15
Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward him, and their fate would last for ever.
16
I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
