11. “But my people would not listen to me;Israel would not obey me.
12. So I let them go their stubborn waysand do whatever they wanted.
13. How I wish my people would listen to me;how I wish they would obey me!
14. I would quickly defeat their enemiesand conquer all their foes.
15. Those who hate me would bow in fear before me;their punishment would last for ever.
16. But I would feed you with the finest wheatand satisfy you with wild honey.”
