- "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.
|
- "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."
