My people, listen. I am warning you. Israel, please listen to me!

"But my people did not listen to me; Israel did not want me.
12
So I let them go their stubborn way and follow their own advice.
13
I wish my people would listen to me; I wish Israel would live my way.
14
Then I would quickly defeat their enemies and turn my hand against their foes.
15

But I would give you the finest wheat and fill you with honey from the rocks." A psalm of Asaph.
