Charles Ellicott Commentary Romans 10:21

"But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people." — Romans 10:21 (ASV)

To Israel.—With regard to Israel.

He says.—Isaiah, speaking as the mouthpiece of God.

All day long.—This quotation is from the verse following the one previously cited, and there is no such distinction in the persons to whom it is addressed as the Apostle here draws.

Gainsaying.—A people who refused the offered salvation.
