8 Listen, my people, to my warning;Israel, how I wish you would listen to me!
9 You must never worship another god.
10 I am the Lord your God,who brought you out of Egypt.Open your mouth, and I will feed you.
11 “But my people would not listen to me;Israel would not obey me.
12 So I let them go their stubborn waysand do whatever they wanted.
13 How I wish my people would listen to me;how I wish they would obey me!
14 I would quickly defeat their enemiesand conquer all their foes.
