14. Then wilt thou delight in Jehovah. He appears to allude to the word delight in the preceding verse; for the verb gg[tt ( tithgnanneg ) which the Prophet employs, is derived from the same root as gg[ ( gnoneg ) which he formerly used, when he said that the Lord takes the highest delight in the true observation of the Sabbath. In a word, he means that the people take no delight in God, because they provoke him, and do not obey his will; for if we framed our life in obedience to God, we should be his delight, and, on the other hand, he would be our delight. Thus he affirms that it is owing entirely to the Jews themselves that they do not, by relying on a reconciled God, lead a cheerful and joyful life. By these words he indirectly reproaches them with bringing upon themselves, by their own fault, many calamities.
