people.
would none.
 {v.11-12} What was the result of these dealings with the people? Alas! It proved that they would not hearken to the voice of the Lord. They turned aside to strange gods― “they would none” of Jehovah. Hence Jehovah gave them up to their own heart’s stubbornness (JND). (Psalms 81 by H. Smith)
