Psalm 81:11-14
New King James Version
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.

New King James Version
15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
(A)“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
(B)But you would not,
16 And you said, “No, for we will flee on horses”—
Therefore you shall flee!
And, “We will ride on swift horses”—
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!
17 (C)One thousand shall flee at the threat of one,
At the threat of five you shall flee,
Till you are left as a [a]pole on top of a mountain
And as a banner on a hill.
God Will Be Gracious
18 Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be (D)gracious to you;
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
(E)Blessed are all those who (F)wait for Him.
