Psalm 81:10-16
New Living Translation
10 For it was I, the Lord your God,
who rescued you from the land of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.
11 “But no, my people wouldn’t listen.
Israel did not want me around.
12 So I let them follow their own stubborn desires,
living according to their own ideas.
13 Oh, that my people would listen to me!
Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths!
14 How quickly I would then subdue their enemies!
How soon my hands would be upon their foes!
15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him;
they would be doomed forever.
16 But I would feed you with the finest wheat.
I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock.”
Psalm 81:10-16

Psalm 81:10-16
New International Version
10 I am the Lord your God,
who brought you up out of Egypt.(A)
Open(B) wide your mouth and I will fill(C) it.
11 “But my people would not listen to me;
Israel would not submit to me.(D)
12 So I gave them over(E) to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own devices.
13 “If my people would only listen to me,(F)
if Israel would only follow my ways,
14 how quickly I would subdue(G) their enemies
and turn my hand against(H) their foes!
15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe(I) before him,
and their punishment would last forever.
16 But you would be fed with the finest of wheat;(J)
with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
