Stretched forth my hands; in kind invitations of mercy.

A disobedient and gainsaying people; who continued to oppose his messengers and reject their message. As they continued to reject him, he would reject them, and gather to himself a people from the Gentiles. This had been foretold in the Old Testament, and they might have known it. No outward connection with any visible church, and no external privileges merely, can secure for men the favor of God. He will treat them as they treat his Son. If they receive and obey him as their Saviour, he will be made of God unto them wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. If they do not, he will cast them off. John 14:15; John 14:21; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Corinthians 16:22.
