Bible verse
If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
Psalm 81:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 81.
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
