Context of Psalms 81:15
13So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, to walk in their own counsels. 14Oh that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their foes. 16Those who hate Adonai would cringe before Him— their time of doom would be forever. 17But you would be fed with the finest wheat, with honey out of a rock would I satisfy you.”
