Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 2:7

_ _ plentiful — literally, “a land of Carmel,” or “well-cultivated land”: a garden land, in contrast to the “land of deserts” (Jeremiah 2:6).

_ _ defiled — by idolatries (Judges 2:10-17; Psalms 78:58, Psalms 78:59; 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.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 2:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 2:7

My land — Consecrated to my name; by your idols and many other abominations.
