I hear a voice I had not known:H7760H3084H5715H3318H776H4714H8085H8193H30456"I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket.H5493H7926H5447H3709H5674H17317In distress you called, and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. SelahH7121H6869H2502H6030H5643H7482H974H4325H4809H55428Hear, O my people, while I admonish you; O Israel, if you would but listen to me!H8085H5971H5749H3478H80859There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god.H2114H410H7812H5236H41010I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.H3068H430H5927H776H4714H6310H7337H439011"But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.H5971H8085H6963H3478H1412So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels.H7971H3820H8307H3212H415613O that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!H3863H5971H8085H3478H1980H187014Then I would quickly subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their foes.H4592H3665H341H7725H3027H686215Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their doom would last forever.H8130H3068H3584H6256H576916I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."H398H2459H2406H1706H6697H7646
