Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Upon the truth.--The Hebrew word, which has no article, implies truth in the inward parts, faithfulness, as well as truth in words. The "eyes" of God looked for this, and He found the temper that hardens itself against discipline, and refuses to repent.
