- "Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me!
- "Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
- "I, the LORD, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
- "But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me.
- "So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices.

- "Hear, O my people, and I will warn you-- if you would but listen to me, O Israel!
- You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god.
- I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
- "But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.
- So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
|
- "Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!
- "I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries.
- "Those who hate the LORD would pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.
- "But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
|
- "If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways,
- how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!
- Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
- But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
