"'But MY people did not listen;
Israel did not obey.
So I gave them over to their stubbornness
and they followed their own counsels.
If only MY people would listen,
if only Israel would walk in MY ways,
I would quickly subdue their adversaries
and turn MY hand against their enemies.
Those who hate YAHWEH would cringe before HIM,
and their panic would last forever.
I would feed you with the finest wheat
and satisfy you with honey from the rock.'"
- Psalm 81:12-13. 14-15. 16-17
(This psalm urges us to listen to the voice of the LORD, because idols are with us, even today. 'We lack dynamism to evangelize and change the world: this is because, we still have idols even in our apostolic planning. GOD HIMSELF in the Transfiguration tells in Matthew 17:5, 'This is MY Son, the Beloved, MY Chosen One. Listen to HIM.'
GOD keeps HIS promise. If only we would listen, we would have food for body and soul.)
