Then shall they call upon me. — They did not call upon Him in an “acceptable time,” in “a day of salvation” (Isaiah 49:8), while He was “near” (Isaiah 55:6); so at last the master of the house has “risen up, and shut-to the door” (Luke 13:25), and will not listen to their cries.
They shall seek me early. — As God had done, “daily rising up early,” and sending the prophets unto them (Jeremiah 7:25).
