Thou shalt no god in thee reserve,
of any land abroad;
And in no wise bow to or serve
a strange and foreign god.
I am the Lord thy God, and I
from Egypt set thee free;
Then ask of me abundantly,
and I will give it thee.
But yet my people would not hear
my voice when that I spake;
And Israel would not obey
but did me quite forsake.
Then did I leave them to their will,
in hardness of their heart;
To walk in their own counsels still,
themselves they did pervert.
O that my people would have heard
the words that I did say;
And Israel with due regard
had walk-ed in my way!
I should have soon destroyed their foes,
and brought them down full low,
And turned my hand against all tho9se
that sought their overthrow.
And they that at the Lord did rage
as liars should be found;
But for his folk, their time and age
should with great joy be crowned:
I would have fed them with the crop
and finest of the wheat,
And made the rock with honey drop
that they their fills might eat.
