Bible Comments

Plentiful country, Heb. land of Carmel, Isaiah 29:17; understand Canaan, Numbers 13:27: See Poole on "Isaiah 35:2". To eat the fruit thereof and the goodness; to enjoy all the blessing of it. My land, i.e. consecrated to my name, Leviticus 25:23; and this you have defiled by going a whoring after your idols, Jeremiah 3:1, and many other abominations, Psalms 106:29,35,37-39. Mine heritage; in the same sense that it is said in the foregoing clause my land, and which you received from me as your heritage, the place that I chose for my church's present habitation, and earnest of their future heavenly one.

Jeremiah 2:7

7 And I brought you into a plentifulb country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
