“And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.”
The statement that my people are bent on turning away from me suggests that Israel has a fundamental orientation away from God, a stubborn resistance to returning that is deeply rooted in their character. The reference to calling them upward suggests God's continued attempts to redirect Israel's attention toward heaven and covenant, yet Israel persists in downward movement. This verse establishes that Israel's problem is not circumstantial but characterological, rooted in a fundamental bent of will.
