"If only my people would obey me! If only Israel would keep my commands!"
— Psalms 81:13, NET Bible
“Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!”
“Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways! ”
“Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!”
“If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!”
“Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!”
I am the LORD, your God, the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!’
But my people did not obey me; Israel did not submit to me.
I gave them over to their stubborn desires; they did what seemed right to them.
If only my people would obey me! If only Israel would keep my commands!
Then I would quickly subdue their enemies, and attack their adversaries.”
(May those who hate the LORD cower in fear before him! May they be permanently humiliated!)
“I would feed Israel the best wheat, and would satisfy your appetite with honey from the rocky cliffs.”
