13 “If my people would only listen to me,
if Israel would only follow my ways,
14 how quickly I would subdue their enemies
and turn my hand against their foes!
Seeing all the evil actions in the world tells me we are not listening to him. This must include Israel today as well right, their enemies are not subdued. We try to handle it ourselves making political arrangements with Iran, but in the end this is not the way to subdue them and the intentions to destroy Israel.
not sure this is the intended application but its where my mind was taken.

my verse came from the same area as yours. We talk a lot about keep ourselves on God's mission and not my own. This verse shows God's perspective and his reaction when we do that. I continue to ask for God's face to shine upon me..........workin on it.
