8 In distress you called and I rescued you;I answered you in secret with thunder;At the waters of Meribah I tested you:
9 ‘Listen, my people, I will testify against youSelahIf only you will listen to me, Israel!
10 There shall be no foreign god among you;you shall not bow down to an alien god.
11 “I am the Lord your God,who brought you up from the land of Egypt.Open wide your mouth that I may fill it.’
12 But my people did not listen to my words;Israel would not submit to me.
13 So I thrust them away to the hardness of their heart;‘Let them walk in their own machinations.’
14 O that my people would listen to me,that Israel would walk in my ways,
