So I gave them over to their own stubborn way

God allowing the people to remain stubborn is spoken of as if God were giving them over to an enemy to let the enemy harm them. Alternate translation: "Therefore, I let them be stubborn" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)

they might follow their own devices

"they might follow their own plans" or "they might do what they think is right"
