Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) The land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.--From the creation the earth shared in the punishment of man's guilt (Genesis 3:17), and at the restitution of all things she is to participate in his restoration (Romans 8:19-22). The physical condition of the land, therefore, depends upon the moral conduct of man. When he disobeys God's commandments she is parched up and does not yield her fruit" (Deuteronomy 11:17). "The land is defiled" when he defiles himself. When he walks in the way of the Divine commands she is blessed (Leviticus 25:19; Leviticus 26:4); "God is merciful unto his land and to his people" (Deuteronomy 32:43). Hence, "the earth mourneth" when her inhabitants sin (Isaiah 24:4-5), and "the earth is glad" when God avenges the cause of His people (Psalm 96:11-13). It is owing to this intimate connection between them that the land, which is here personified, is represented as loathing the wicked conduct of her children and being unable to restrain them. She nauseated them. The same figure is used in Leviticus 18:28; Leviticus 20:22; and in Revelation 3:16. . . .
