<p>10:21 <i>But to Israel He said: All the day long did I spread out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people</i>- The implication of &quot;all the day long&quot; is that Israel's day of opportunity was over. The spreading out of hands towards someone is a picture of a father teaching a child to walk, urging them to take their first faltering steps towards his opening arms. And this was just the figure used of God to Israel in Hos. 11:3.</p>
