8 Hear me, my people, and I will warn you— if you would only listen to me, Israel!

10 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

13 Oh, if my people would hearken unto me and Israel would walk in my ways!

13 “If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways,

14 I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their adversaries.

14 how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!

15 The haters of the LORD would have submitted themselves unto him, and their time would endure for ever.

15 Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

16 And God would have fed them also the finest of the wheat, and with honey out of the rock I would have satisfied thee.

16 But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
