The author is speaking as if the Israelites had literally been walking behind God but then turned away to walk in a different direction from him. He means that they stopped living in the manner in which God wants people to live. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they changed their behavior]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לָלֶ֗כֶת אַֽחֲרֵי֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים
to=go after ʼElohīm other
The author is speaking of how people live as if that were a path that people would walk along. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [to live as the followers of other gods do]

The author is speaking as if the Israelites could literally drop their wrong actions, that is, have them fall out of their hands onto the ground. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [They did not give up]

The terms deeds and ways mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. The UST models one way to do this.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
