Context of Psalms 81:10

8Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you— O Israel, if you would listen to Me! 9Let there be no strange god among you, Nor shall you worship any foreign god. I am the Lord your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. 11“But My people would not listen to My voice, And Israel did not [consent to] obey Me. 12So I gave them up to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in [the path of] their own counsel.
