(A)Hear, My people, and I will admonish you;
Israel, if you (B)would listen to Me!
There shall be no (C)strange god among you;
Nor shall you worship a foreign god.
10 (D)I, the Lord, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
(E)Open your mouth wide and I will (F)fill it.

11 “But My people (G)did not listen to My voice,
And Israel did not [a]obey Me.
12 So I (H)gave [b]them over to the stubbornness of their heart,
To walk by their own plans.
13 Oh that My people (I)would listen to Me,
That Israel would (J)walk in My ways!
14 I would quickly (K)subdue their enemies
And (L)turn My hand against their adversaries.
15 (M)Those who hate the Lord would (N)pretend to obey Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.
16 [c]But I would feed you with the [d](O)finest of the wheat,
And with (P)honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
