Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - A plentiful country. "A Carmel land," as it were (so Payne Smith). "Carmel" is strictly an appellative noun, meaning" garden-land," i.e., land planted with vines and other choice plants. So Jeremiah 4:26; Isaiah 29:17; Isaiah 37:24.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) A plentiful country.--Literally, a land of Carmel, that word, as meaning a vine-clad hill, having become a type of plenty. So "the forest of his Carmel," in Isaiah 37:24; elsewhere, as in Isaiah 10:18; Isaiah 32:15, "fruitful." The LXX. treats the word as a proper name, "I brought you unto Carmel."When ye entered.--The words point to the rapid degeneracy of Israel after the settlement in Canaan, as seen in the false worship and foul crimes of Judges 17-21. So in Psalm 78:56-58. Instead of being the pattern nation, the firstfruits of mankind, they sank to the level, or below the level, of the heathen.
