11 “But My people would not heed My voice,
And Israel would have (A)none of Me.
12 (B)So I gave them over to [a]their own stubborn heart,
To walk in their own counsels.

13 “Oh,(C) that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn My hand against their adversaries.
15 (D)The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him,
But their [b]fate would endure forever.
16 He would (E)have fed them also with [c]the finest of wheat;
And with honey (F)from the rock I would have satisfied you.”
