⁸Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; Nation of Israel Jacob

¹³Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways! Nation of Israel Jacob

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. God

¹⁶He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
