8. My people, listen. I am warning you.Israel, please listen to me!
9. You must not have foreign gods among you.You must not worship any false god.
10. I, the Lord, am your God.I brought you out of Egypt.Open your mouth, and I will feed you.
11. “But my people did not listen to me.Israel did not want me.
12. So I let them go their stubborn way.They followed their own advice.
13. I wish my people would listen to me.I wish Israel would live my way.
14. Then I would quickly defeat their enemies.I would turn my hand against those who are against them.
15. Those who hate the Lord would bow before him.Their punishment would continue forever.
16. But I would give you the finest wheat.I would fill you with honey from the rocks.”
