And all nations shall call you blessed
When they shall see the land freed from the devouring locust, and other hurtful creatures; the former and the latter rains given in their season, and the earth yielding a large increase:
for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts;
or a desirable F14 one; not only pleasant to themselves, being fruitful, but wished for by others, by their neighbouring nations, who, seeing their prosperity, could not but desire to dwell with them; or delightsome to the Lord of hosts: thus Jarchi interprets it, the land that I delight in; and so Aben Ezra; to which agrees the Targum,
``and all nations shall praise you, because you dwell in the land of the house of my Shechinah or majesty, and do my will in it;''and the Syriac version renders it, "the land of my delight": see ( Isaiah 62:4 ) .
