Israel did not want me around.

O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

There shall no strange god be in thee;

Neither shalt thou worship any strange 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.
