What illness is discussed?

1.

Rashi: Your heart was not ill to worry about My Avodah, to engage in Torah.

Radak: You did not get ill or pained from the toil, due to your love of going in the ways of the nations, and veering away from Avodas Hashem.

3.

Malbim: You were not ill in your own eyes, even though your legs and body were tired. As long as one hand was alive in you, you were not quiet from your evil deeds. The Nimshal is, even though via this their land was destroyed, they were exiled and dispersed and several evils passed over them, as long as some of them were in their land, they did not feel the general pain of the body, which is the Klal of the country. They did not abandon seeking foreign help and to serve [other nations'] gods.
