AE 374 - "O that My people. . ."

AE 374c [11]
O that My people would listen to Me,
and Israel would walk in My ways!
I would feed them with the fat of wheat;
and with honey out of the rock I would satisfy them.

(Psalm 81:13, 16)

"Fat of wheat," and
"honey out of the rock with which they would be fed and satisfied"
signify good of every kind from celestial good
and enjoyment thereof from the Lord;
for "fat" signifies celestial good,
"wheat" good of every kind,
"honey" the enjoyment of good,
and "rock" the Lord.
That those who live according to the Lord's commandments
will possess these things is meant by
"O that My people would listen to me,
and Israel would walk in My ways!"
"Ways" in the Word signifying truths and also commandments,
and "to walk" signifying to live.
