8 Hear me, my people, and I will warn you –if you would only listen to me, Israel!
9 You shall have no foreign god among you;you shall not worship any god other than me.
10 I am the Lord your God,who brought you up out of Egypt.Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
11 ‘But my people would not listen to me;Israel would not submit to me.
12 So I gave them over to their stubborn heartsto follow their own devices.
13 ‘If my people would only listen to me,if Israel would only follow my ways,
14 how quickly I would subdue their enemiesand turn my hand against their foes!
