'My People' in the Bible

Have all the workers of wickedness and injustice no knowledge,Who eat up my people as they eat bread,And do not call upon the Lord?

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak;O Israel, I will testify against you:I am God, your God.

Have workers of wickedness no knowledge or no understanding?They eat up My people as though they ate breadAnd have not called upon God.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget;Scatter them and make them wander [endlessly] back and forth by Your power, and bring them down,O Lord our shield!

Listen, O my people, to my teaching;Incline your ears to the words of my mouth [and be willing to learn].

“Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you—O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

“But My people would not listen to My voice,And Israel did not [consent to] obey Me.

“Oh, that My people would listen to Me,That Israel would walk in My ways!

God has spoken in His holiness:“I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people],And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress,My high tower and my rescuer,My shield and He in whom I take refuge,Who subdues my people under me.
