(1) My heart's desire.--Strictly, the goodwill of my heart. The earlier portion of this chapter is occupied with a more particular exposition of the cause of Israel's rejection, which has been just alleged. They sought to do a hard thing--to work out a righteousness for themselves--instead of an easy thing--simply to believe in Christ. This chapter, like the last, is introduced by an expression of the Apostle's own warm affection for his people and his earnest desire for their salvation. For Israel.--The true text is, "for them." "Israel" has been put in the margin as an explanatory gloss, and thence found its way into the text. What made the rejection of Israel so peculiarly pathetic was that they were not a mere godless and irreligious people. On the contrary, they had a sincere zeal for religion, but it was a misdirected and ill-judged zeal.
