Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 11:7-10

_ _ 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 Romans 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.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 11:1-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 11:7

What then — What is the conclusion from the whole? It is this: that Israel in general hath not obtained justification; but those of them only who believe. And the rest were blinded — By their own wilful prejudice.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 11:7

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were (f) blinded

(f) See (Mark 3:5).
