No joy — Shall not rejoice over them to do them good. Fatherless — Who are the special objects of his care and pity, and much less upon others. Every one — Not precisely; for there were seven thousand elect persons among them, when they seemed to Elijah to be universally corrupt, but the body of the people. Hypocrite — For though they professed to worship God, yet indeed they had forsaken him. Folly — Wickedness.
