Psalm 81:8–16

8  tHear, O my people, and tI will testify unto thee:

O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

9  There shall no ustrange god be in thee;

Neither shalt thou worship any wstrange god.

10  xI am the Lord thy God,

Which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:

yOpen thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11  But my people would not hearken to my voice;

And Israel yywould none of me.

12  So I zgave them up ||unto their own hearts’ lust:

And they awalked in their own counsels.

13  bOh that my people had hearkened unto me,

And Israel chad walked in my ways!

14  I should soon have subdued their enemies,

And dturned my hand against their adversaries.

15  eThe haters of the Lord should have ||submitted themselves unto him:

But their time should have endured for ever.

16  He should have fed them also †with the finest of the wheat:

And with fhoney out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
