10430. 'And you, let Me alone' means that they should not be so stubbornly insistent. This is clear from the meaning of 'letting alone', when said by Jehovah regarding that nation, as that they should not be so stubbornly insistent. For that nation was not chosen by the Lord but accepted by Him because they stubbornly insisted on it, see 4290, 4293, 7051, 7439. For that nation more than all others throughout the whole world was capable of fasting, prostrating themselves, rolling in ashes, and lamenting for days on end, and of not leaving off till they got what they wanted. But they behaved in that stubborn way solely for the sake of themselves, that is to say, because they were inflamed by the most fiery self-love and love of the world, and not for the sake of what was God's. People who go on like this are indeed heard; but even so they do not receive anything of heaven and the Church within themselves, only such things as belong to the world, provided that they adhere to statutes and laws in the outward form they take. This is why in the next life they are among those in hell, except for some who have been governed by what is good, and except for their young children. From all this it is evident that 'you, let Me alone' means that they should not be so stubbornly insistent.

Deuteronomy 31:19.
