7-10. 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
Ro 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."
