Bible verse
Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
Psalm 81:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 81.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
