11. But My people would not hearken to My voice, and Israel would have none of Me.
12. So I gave them up to their own hearts' lust and let them go after their own stubborn will, that they might follow their own counsels. [Acts 7:42, 43; 14:16; Rom. 1:24, 26.]
13. Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!
14. Speedily then I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their adversaries.
15. [Had Israel listened to Me in Egypt, then] those who hated the Lord would have come cringing before Him, and their defeat would have lasted forever.
16. [God] would feed [Israel now] also with the finest of the wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy you.
