12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels. VP
13 Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! VP
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries. VP
15 The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever. VP
16 But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock." A Psalm by Asaph. VP
