10 ^aI am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
^bOpen your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

And Israel would have ^anone of Me.

To walk in their own counsels.

That Israel would walk in My ways!

And turn My hand against their adversaries.

But their¹ fate would endure forever.

16 He would ^ahave fed them also with the finest of wheat;
And with honey ^bfrom the rock I would have satisfied you.”
