⁸ Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me! ⁹ There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god. ¹⁰ I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. ¹¹ But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me. ¹² So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels. ¹³ Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways! ¹⁴ I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. ¹⁵ The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever. ¹⁶ And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But my people would not hearken to my voice,.... Neither as exhorting them to the above duties, nor as promising the above favours; would neither hearken to the voice of the law, nor to the voice of the Gospel; but were like the deaf adder, which stops its ear to the voice of the charmer, charming never so wisely:

and Israel would none of me; would not attend to his word, acquiesce in his will, nor delight themselves in him, and in his worship and service; would have none of his salutary doctrines, or wholesome reproofs, nor of his laws and government; would not have him to reign over them, nor to be their Saviour, though the only one, and there is none beside him; though the chiefest good, and from whom all good things come, and is the portion and exceeding great reward of his people: see Proverbs 1:25.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But my people ... - See Psalms 78:10-11, Psalms 78:17-19. “And Israel would none of me.” Literally, “Did not will me;” that is, “did not incline to me; were not attached to me; were not disposed to worship me, and to find happiness in me.” Compare Isaiah 1:19; Job 39:9; Proverbs 1:25. They refused or rejected him. See Exodus 32:1; Deuteronomy 32:15, Deuteronomy 32:18.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 81:11. Israel would none of me. — לא אבה לי lo abah li, They willed me not, they would not have me for their God.
