The Message Bible on v.31-33 “And Israel, who seemed so interested in reading and talking about what God was doing missed it. How could they miss it? Because instead of trusting God, they took over. They were absorbed in what they themselves were doing. They were so absorbed in their “God Projects” that they didn’t notice God right in front of them, like a huge rock in the middle of the road. And so they stumbled into him and went sprawling.”
it is just god’s choice that those who respond with faith and love him get to be his children and those who disobey him have their hearts become hard. it is god’s choice, and he can harden anyone he wants to ! so, he has chosen to harden anyone who is disobedient.
it’s his rule, if you don’t like it, too bad! you can’t be disobedient all your life and then ask after you are hardened, “why did you make me like this?”

The main point here seems to be: God’s in charge.

Yes I agree. It is His rule. He is the Potter we are the clay.
“Yours is the kingdom, Yours is power, Yours is the glory, forever and ever. Amen.”
