Context of Psalms 81:10
8“Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me! 9There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god. I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11“But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me. 12So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.
