Psalm 81:12-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 But my people did not listen to my words;
Israel would not submit to me.
13 So I thrust them away to the hardness of their heart;
‘Let them walk in their own machinations.’(A)
14 O that my people would listen to me,
that Israel would walk in my ways,(B)
15 In a moment I would humble their foes,
and turn back my hand against their oppressors.(C)
16 Those who hate the Lord will try flattering him,
but their fate is fixed forever.
17 But Israel I will feed with the finest wheat,
I will satisfy them with honey from the rock.”(D)
