Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer?

It also intimates that they are resolute in sin; their hearts are fully set in them to do evil the bias is strong that way; and they persist in their backslidings, whatever is said or done to stop them; and yet, (4.) "They are, in profession, my people.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

His bowels yearned towards them, and his soul was grieved for their sin and misery, Judg. x. Since I spoke against him my bowels are troubled for him. When God was to give up his Son to be a sacrifice for sin, and a Saviour for sinners, he did not say, How shall I give him up?

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

bent to backsliding--Not only do they backslide, and that too from ME, their "chief good," but they are bent upon it. Though they (the prophets) called them (the Israelites) to the Most High (from their idols), "none would exalt (that is, extol or honor) Him." To exalt God, they must cease to be "bent on backsliding," and must lift themselves upwards.
