7. (8) In tzoros thou calledst, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the seter ra'am (secret place of thunder); I tested thee at the waters of Merivah. Selah.
8. (9) Shema, O My people, and I will admonish thee; O Yisroel, if thou wilt pay heed unto Me;
9. (10) There shall no el zar (strange, foreign g-d) be among thee; neither shalt thou worship any el nechar (foreign g-d).
10. (11) I am Hashem Eloheicha Who brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim; open thy mouth wide, I will fill it.
11. (12) But My people would not pay heed to My voice; and Yisroel would have none of Me.
12. (13) So I gave them up unto their own hearts' sherirut (stubbornness); and they walked in their own mo'atzot (counsels).
