Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 26. - The fruitful place; rather, the garden-land (see on Jeremiah 2:7). Not "the Carmel" (Keil, Payne Smith) for the context refers to the whole of the country, not to any single tract. The article before the two appellatives is the generic. At the presence of; rather, by reason of.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(26) The fruitful place.--The Carmel, or vine-land, became as "the wilderness." The Hebrew article points probably to the well-known desert of the wanderings.At the presence of the Lord.--Literally, from before Jehovah, from before the heat of his anger. The original has the emphasis of repeating the preposition.
