8 (A)Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!
O Israel, if you would but listen to me!

you shall not bow down to a (C)foreign god.
10 (D)I am the Lord your God,
who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
(E)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
Israel (F)would not submit to me.

to follow their own (I)counsels.
13 (J)Oh, that my people would listen to me,
that Israel would (K)walk in my ways!

Psalm 81:8-13
King James Version
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
10 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
