3
Blow the shofar in the new moon in the time appointed on our solemn feast day.
4
For this
is a statute of Israel
and an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5
This he ordained in Joseph
for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt
where I heard a language
that I did not understand.
6
I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were delivered from
working with clay.
7
Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret
place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me,
9
no strange god shall be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
10
I
am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11
But my people did not hearken to my voice, and Israel did not love me.
12
So I gave them up unto the hardness of their heart,
and they walked in their own counsels.
13
Oh, if my people would hearken unto me
and Israel would walk in my ways!
