Jeremiah 2:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

Plentiful - literally, a land of Carmel, or well-cultivated land: a garden-land, in contrast to the "land of deserts" (Jeremiah 2:6).

Ye defiled my land - by idolatries (Judges 2:10-17; Psalms 106:38).

You ... ye - change to the second person from the third, "they" (Jeremiah 2:6), in order to bring home the guilt to the living generation.
