7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you;I answered you from the thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
8 Listen, My people, and I will admonish you.Israel, if you would only listen to Me!

10 I am Yahweh your God,who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “But My people did not listen to Me;Israel did not obey Me.
