Psalms 81:13

Read in context

Psalms 81:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.

12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,

14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!

15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
