Psalm 81:11-16
The Message
Psalm 81:11-16
The Message
11-12 “But my people didn’t listen,
Israel paid no attention;
So I let go of the reins and told them, ‘Run!
Do it your own way!’
13-16 “Oh, dear people, will you listen to me now?
Israel, will you follow my map?
I’ll make short work of your enemies,
give your foes the back of my hand.
I’ll send the God-haters cringing like dogs,
never to be heard from again.
You’ll feast on my fresh-baked bread
spread with butter and rock-pure honey.”
Psalm 81:11-16
New International Version
Psalm 81:11-16
New International Version
11 “But my people would not listen to me;
Israel would not submit to me.(A)
12 So I gave them over(B) to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own devices.
13 “If my people would only listen to me,(C)
if Israel would only follow my ways,
14 how quickly I would subdue(D) their enemies
and turn my hand against(E) their foes!
15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe(F) before him,
and their punishment would last forever.
16 But you would be fed with the finest of wheat;(G)
with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
