Does God Make People Err? (Meme)


O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. (Isa. 63:17)

Commentary:
“So again, Isaiah lxiii. 17. “O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear?” should be, “Why hast thou suffered us to err from thy ways, to harden our hearts against the fear of thee ?” Many erroneous translations akin to these, have led some crude speculatists to circulate highly dangerous opinions as to the Divine conduct.”
Gregory, Olinthus Memoirs Of The Life, Writings, And Character, Literary, Professional, And Religious of the Late John Mason Good (London: Henry Fisher, 1828), p. 145
