The second part.

 [verse 11]  Thou shalt no god in thee reserve
of any land abroad:
Nor in no wise to bow or serve
a strange or forein god.
 [verse 12]  I am the Lord thy God, and I
from Egypt set thee free:
Then ask of me abundantly,
and I will give it thee.

 [verse 13]  And yet my people would not hear
my voice when that I spake:
Nor Israel would not obey,
but did me quite forsake.
 [verse 14]  Then did I leave them to their will,
in hardness of their heart:
To walk in their own counsels still,
themselves they might pervert.

 [verse 15]  O that my people would have heard
the words that I did say:
And eke that Israel would regard
to walk within my way!
 [verse 16]  How soon would I confound their foes,
and bring them down full low:
And turn my hand upon all those
that would them overthrow!

 [verse 17]  And they that at the Lord do rage,
as slaves should seek him till:
But of his folk the time and age
should flourish ever still.
 [verse 18]  I would have fed them with the crop
and finest of the wheat:
And made the rock with honey drop,
that they their fills should eat.
