This verse in particular demolishes the system of Calvinism. In one verse we have God's will -- "how often would I have gathered" -- contrasted with man's will -- "ye would not" -- proving once and for all that God
does allow man's will to contravene his own will on matters like these. So much for irresistible grace! The truth is that it is in fact God's
will that man has a
freedom of choice to obey or disobey.
