Jeremiah 2:7
Douay-Rheims
And I brought you into the land of Carmel, to eat the fruit thereof, and the best things thereof: and when ye entered in, you defiled my land, and made my inheritance an abomination.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
plentiful--literally, "a land of Carmel," or "well-cultivated land": a garden land, in contrast to the "land of deserts" (Jer 2:6). defiled--by idolatries (Jdg 2:10-17; Psa 78:58-59; Psa 106:38). you . . . ye--change to the second person from the third, "they" (Jer 2:6), in order to bring home the guilt to the living generation.
