10. There shall be no foreign god among you;you shall not bow down to an alien god.
11. “I am the Lord your God,who brought you up from the land of Egypt.Open wide your mouth that I may fill it.’
12. But my people did not listen to my words;Israel would not submit to me.
13. So I thrust them away to the hardness of their heart;‘Let them walk in their own machinations.’
14. O that my people would listen to me,that Israel would walk in my ways,
15. In a moment I would humble their foes,and turn back my hand against their oppressors.
16. Those who hate the Lord will try flattering him,but their fate is fixed forever.
