12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,

to follow their own counsels.

13 O 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 foes.

15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe toward him,

and their fate would last for ever.

16 I would feed you* with the finest of the wheat,

and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
