13“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!13If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
14I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries.14how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
15The haters of the LORD would pretend submission to Him, But their fate would endure forever.15Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
16He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you.”16But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
