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 not submit to me.
12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,to follow their own counsels.
13 Oh, that my people would listen to me,that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemiesand turn my hand against their foes.
