8You who are my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli people would pay attention to what I say to you!
9You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
10I am Yahweh, your God; It was not any of those other gods who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! So ask me what you want me to do for you MTY, and I will do it.
11But my people would not listen to me SYN; they would not obey me.
12So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
13I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli people would behave as I want them to do.
14If they did that, I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish all of them DOU.
