11“But My peopleH5971 15did not listenH8085 to My voiceH6963, And IsraelH3478 did not 16obeyH14 Me.12So I 17gaveH7971 18them overH7971 to the stubbornnessH8307 of their heartH3820, To walkH1980 in their own devicesH4156.13OhH3863 that My peopleH5971 19would listenH8085 to Me, That IsraelH3478 would 20walkH1980 in My waysH1870!14I would quicklyH4592 21subdueH3665 their enemiesH340 And 22turnH7725 My handH3027 againstH5921 their adversariesH6862.1523Those who hateH8130 the LordH3068 would 24pretendH3584 obedienceH3584 to Him, And their timeH6256 of punishment would be foreverH5769.1625But I would feedH398 you with the 2627finestH2459 of the wheatH2406, And with 28honeyH1706 from the rockH6697 I would satisfyH7646 you.”
