8  Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!

O Israel, if you would but listen to me!

9  ^rThere shall be no strange god among you;

you shall not bow down to a foreign god.

10  I am the Lord your God,

^swho brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11  ^t“But my people did not listen to my voice;

Israel would not submit to me.

12  So I ^ugave them over to their ^vstubborn hearts,

to follow ^wtheir own counsels.
