New International Version

⁶ “I removed the burden^(A) from their shoulders;^(B)

⁷ In your distress you called^(C) and I rescued you,
    I answered^(D) you out of a thundercloud;
    I tested you at the waters of Meribah.^[a](E)
8 Hear me, my people,^(F) and I will warn you—
    if you would only listen to me, Israel!
⁹ You shall have no foreign god^(G) among you;
    you shall not worship any god other than me.
¹⁰ I am the Lord your God,
    who brought you up out of Egypt.^(H)
Open^(I) wide your mouth and I will fill^(J) it.

¹¹ “But my people would not listen to me;
    Israel would not submit to me.^(K)
12 So I gave them over^(L) to their stubborn hearts
    to follow their own devices.

¹³ “If my people would only listen to me,^(M)
    if Israel would only follow my ways,
