Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
as it is written— (Isaiah 29:10; Deuteronomy 29:4).
God hath given—"gave"
them the spirit of slumber—"stupor"
unto this day—"this present day."
What then?—How stands the fact?
Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for—better, "What Israel is in search of (that is, Justification, or acceptance with God—see on Romans 9:31); this he found not; but the election (the elect remnant of Israel) found it, and the rest were hardened," or judicially given over to the "hardness of their own hearts."
