7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

לֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה בְ֭ךָ אֵ֣ל זָ֑ר וְלֹ֥א תִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לְאֵ֣ל נֵכָֽר׃

9 οὐκ ἔσται ἐν σοί θεὸς πρόσφατος, οὐδὲ προσκυνήσεις θεῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ· 9 οὐκ ἔσται ἐν σοί Θεὸς πρόσφατος, οὐδὲ προσκυνήσεις Θεῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ·

אָנֹכִ֨י ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ הַֽ֭מַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם הַרְחֶב־פִּ֝֗יךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ׃

10 ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι κύριος θεός σου ἀναγαγών σὲ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· πλάτυνον τὸ στόμα σου, καὶ πληρώσω αὐτό. 10 ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι Κύριος Θεός σου ἀναγαγών σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· πλάτυνον τὸ στόμα σου, καὶ πληρώσω αὐτό.

11 But my people would not listen to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

וְלֹא־שָׁמַ֣ע עַמִּ֣י לְקֹולִ֑י וְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לֹא־אָ֥בָה לִֽי׃

11 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν λαός μου τῆς φωνῆς μου, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ οὐ προσέσχεν μοι· 11 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν λαός μου τῆς φωνῆς μου, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ οὐ προσέσχε μοι·
11 But my people didn’t listen to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me. 11 But my people didn’t listen to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.

12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust; and they walked in their own counsels.

וָֽ֭אֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִיר֣וּת לִבָּ֑ם יֵ֝לְכ֗וּ בְּֽמֹועֲצֹותֵיהֶֽם׃


13 Oh that my people had listened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

ל֗וּ עַ֭מִּי שֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ לִ֑י יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל בִּדְרָכַ֥י יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃

13 Εἰ λαός μου ἤκουσέν μου, Ἰσραὴλ ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου εἰ ἐπορεύθη, 13 εἰ λαός μου ἤκουσέ μου, Ἰσραὴλ ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου εἰ ἐπορεύθης,
13 If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways, 13 If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

כִּ֭מְעַט אֹויְבֵיהֶ֣ם אַכְנִ֑יעַ וְעַ֥ל צָ֝רֵיהֶ֗ם אָשִׁ֥יב יָדִֽי׃

14 ἐν τῷ μηδενὶ ἄν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν ἐταπείνωσα καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτοὺς ἐπέβαλον τὴν χεῖρά μου. 14 ἐν τῷ μηδενὶ ἄν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν ἐταπείνωσα καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτοὺς ἐπέβαλον ἄν τὴν χεῖρά μου.
14 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those who afflicted them. 14 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those who afflicted them.

מְשַׂנְאֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה יְכַֽחֲשׁוּ־לֹ֑ו וִיהִ֖י עִתָּ֣ם לְעֹולָֽם׃

15 οἱ ἐχθροὶ κυρίου ἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται καιρὸς αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. 15 οἱ ἐχθροὶ Κυρίου ἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται καιρὸς αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

וַֽ֭יַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵ֣לֶב חִטָּ֑ה וּ֝מִצּ֗וּר דְּבַ֣שׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶֽךָ׃

16 καὶ ἐψώμισεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ στέατος πυροῦ καὶ ἐκ πέτρας μέλι ἐχόρτασεν αὐτούς. 16 καὶ ἐψώμισεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ στέατος πυροῦ καὶ ἐκ πέτρας μέλι ἐχόρτασεν αὐτούς.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock. 16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
