7. When you were in trouble, you called to me, and I saved you.From my hiding place in the storm, I answered you.I put you to the test at the springs of Meribah.
8. Listen, my people, to my warning;Israel, how I wish you would listen to me!
9. You must never worship another god.
10. I am the Lord your God,who brought you out of Egypt.Open your mouth, and I will feed you.
11. “But my people would not listen to me;Israel would not obey me.
12. So I let them go their stubborn waysand do whatever they wanted.
13. How I wish my people would listen to me;how I wish they would obey me!
