Jeremías 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 2:7

And I brought you into a plentiful country
"Into the land of Carmel", as in the Hebrew text; that is,

``into the land of Israel, which was planted as Carmel,''
as the Targum paraphrases it; with wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, and olives; a land flowing with milk and honey, ( Deuteronomy 8:8 ) , so Ben Melech: to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof;
of vineyards and oliveyards, which they had not planted, and for which they had never laboured, ( Joshua 24:13 ) : but when ye entered ye defiled my land;
which the Lord had chosen above all lands, where he would have a temple built for his worship, and where he would cause his Shechinah or glorious Majesty to dwell; but this they defiled by their sins and transgressions, and particularly by their idolatry, as follows: that made mine heritage an abomination;
by devoting it to the worship of idols, as the Targum paraphrases it.

Jeremías 2:7 In-Context

5 Así dice el SEÑOR:«¿Qué injusticia vieron en mí sus antepasados,que se alejaron tanto de mí?Se fueron tras lo que nada vale,y en nada se convirtieron.
6 Nunca preguntaron:“¿Dónde está el SEÑORque nos hizo subir de Egipto,que nos guió por el desierto,por tierra árida y accidentada,por tierra reseca y tenebrosa,por tierra que nadie transitay en la que nadie vive?”
7 Yo los traje a una tierra fértil,para que comieran de sus frutosy de su abundancia.Pero ustedes vinieron y contaminaron mi tierra;hicieron de mi heredad algo abominable.
8 Nunca preguntaron los sacerdotes:“¿Dónde está el SEÑOR?”Los expertos en la ley jamás me conocieron;los pastores se rebelaron contra mí,los profetas hablaron en nombre de Baaly se fueron tras dioses que para nada sirven.
9 Por eso, aún voy a entablar un litigio contra ustedes,y también litigaré contra los hijos de sus hijos—afirma el SEÑOR—.
