“So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.”
The consequence is divine withdrawal: "So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels." The image of being given over to stubborn hearts suggests that God permits the people to experience the natural consequences of their rebellion. They are allowed to follow their own counsel rather than God's instruction.
