8. You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.
9. My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,
10. then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.
11. For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.
12. But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.
13. And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.
14. If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
15. I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.
16. The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.
17. And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.
