"But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me. "
— Psalms 80:12, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?”
“Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it? ”
“Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?”
“Why did you break down its walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?”
“But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.”
“Why are its walls broken down by your hands, so that all who go by may take its fruit?”
“Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?”
My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,
then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.
For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.
But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.
And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.
If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.
