“Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings.

O Israel, if you would only listen to me!

who rescued you from the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.

“But no, my people wouldn’t listen.

Israel did not want me around.

O Israel, if you would but listen to me.

There shall be no strange god among you,

and you shall not bow down to a foreign god.

I am Yahweh your God,

who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

But my people did not listen to my voice,

and Israel did not yield to me.

KJV 1900King James Version

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee:

O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

There shall no strange god be in thee;

Neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

I am the Lord thy God,

Which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:

Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

But my people would not hearken to my voice;

And Israel would none of me.
