Context of Psalms 81:10

8“Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings. O Israel, if you would only listen to me! 9You must never have a foreign god; you must not bow down before a false god. For it was I, the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things. 11“But no, my people wouldn’t listen. Israel did not want me around. 12So I let them follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas.
