Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our festal day.
4
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5
He made it a decree in Joseph, when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a voice I had not known:
6
"I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket.
7
In distress you called, and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8
Hear, O my people, while I admonish you; O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9
There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
10
I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
11
"But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.
12
So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels.
13
O that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
