Theological / Devotional

Their heart. The antecedent, though not stated, most logically is understood to be the people of Judah.

O wall. As in v. 8, the wall is taken as representing the city of Jerusalem.

Apple of thine eye. Generally understood to refer to the pupil of the eye, or perhaps to the eyeball itself.
