6 I eased his shoulder from the burden: and his hands were delivered from making the pots.
7 Thou calledst upon me in troubles, and I delivered thee: and heard thee what time as the storm fell upon thee.
8 I proved thee also: at the waters of strife.
9 Hear, O my people, and I will assure thee, O Israel: if thou wilt hearken unto me,
10 There shall no strange god be in thee: neither shalt thou worship any other god.
11 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.
12 But my people would not hear my voice: and Israel would not obey me.
13 So I gave them up unto their own hearts* lusts: and let them follow their own imaginations.
14 O that my people would have hearkened unto me: for if Israel had walked in my ways,
15 I should soon have put down their enemies: and turned my hand against their adversaries.
