“So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.”

Verse in context — Psalms 81

I am Yahweh, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
