Their heart was not right with God, that is, their hearts were not sincere and upright: but how doth that appear? ⟨p. 118⟩why the next words tell us, They were not steadfast in his Covenant; had their hearts been sincere and upright, they had been steadfast in his Covenant they would wilfully have broken it, and cast it behind their backs.
An upright heart is a heart stedfast with God, stedfast in his Covenant, as it is easie to be gathered, from that which is spoken of the Israelites, Psal. 78.37.
