Psalms 81:15

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!

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

16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
