Isaiah 63:17

O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways? -Lowth and Noyes render this, ‘Why dost thou suffer us to wander from thy way?’ Calvin remarks on the passage, ‘The prophet uses a common form of speaking, for it is usual in the Scriptures to say that God gives the wicked over to a reprobate mind, and hardens their hearts. But when the pious thus speak, they do not intend to make God the author of error or sin, as if they were innocent -nolunt Deum erroris aut sceleris facere auctorem, quasi sint innoxii- or to take away their own blameworthiness.
