Psalms 81:10-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 81
10I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. 11'But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me. 12So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk by their own plans. 13Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! 14I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries. 15Those who hate the Lord would pretend to obey Him, And their time of punishment would be forever. 16 But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.'King James Version
Chapter 81
10I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 12So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 81
10I am the Lord your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11"But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel did not obey me. 12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own plans. 13If only my people would listen to me and Israel would follow my ways, 14I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes." 15Those who hate the Lord would cower to him; their doom would last forever. 16But he would feed Israel with the best wheat. "I would satisfy you with honey from the rock."New Living Translation
11'But no, my people wouldn’t listen. Israel did not want me around.
12So I let them follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas.
13Oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths!
14How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! How soon my hands would be upon their foes!
15Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him; they would be doomed forever.
16But I would feed you with the finest wheat. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock.'

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11“But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. 12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. 13Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! 14I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes. 15Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward him, and their fate would last forever. 16But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”New International Version
Chapter 81
10I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. 11But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.
12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
13If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways,
14how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!
15Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
16But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.'
