“And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.”
'Oh that their heart were such as this always, to fear me and keep all my commandments, that it may go well with them and with their children for ever!' -- the divine wish: that the people's fear of the LORD and commitment to keep the commandments remain constant. The wish (lo lu, oh that) expresses hope, not command. Constant covenant keeping would ensure perpetual well-being.
