^{9 Ref} There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.

^{10 Ref} I `am' Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

^{11 Ref} But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.

^{12 Ref} And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

^{13 Ref} O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.
