Psalm 81:8-16
“My people, listen and I will warn you.
Israel, I wish you would listen to me!
Don’t have anything to do with the gods of other nations.
Don’t bow down and worship any god other than me.
I am the Lord your God.
I brought you up out of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.
“But my people wouldn’t listen to me.
Israel wouldn’t obey me.
So I let them go their own stubborn way.
I let them follow their own sinful plans.
“I wish my people would listen to me!
I wish Israel would live as I want them to live!
Then I would quickly bring their enemies under control.
I would use my power against their attackers.
Those who hate me would bow down to me in fear.
They would be punished forever.
But you would be fed with the finest wheat.
I would satisfy you with the sweetest honey.”
