# Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts, so we do not obey you?

# why do you make us wander from your ways
|
|
|
|
To not do what Yahweh commands is spoken of as if a person wanders off of the correct path. Alternate translation: "why do you make do what is wrong" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# harden our hearts
|
|
|
|
This means to become resistant to Yahweh's teaching by refusing to listen and obey. Here "heart" represents their motives, feelings and desires. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
