3 - Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

4 - For a statute to Israel it <FI>is<Fi> , An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 - A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known--I hear.

9 - There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.

10 - I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

11 - But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.

12 - And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

13 - O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.

14 - As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,

15 - Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is--to the age.

16 - He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And <FI>with<Fi> honey from a rock I satisfy thee!
