Еврейская мысль к Ошеа 2:24

וְהָאָ֣רֶץ תַּעֲנֶ֔ה אֶת־הַדָּגָ֖ן וְאֶת־הַתִּיר֣וֹשׁ וְאֶת־הַיִּצְהָ֑ר וְהֵ֖ם יַעֲנ֥וּ אֶֽת־יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃

И земля ответит на кукурузу, вино и масло; И они ответят на Изреель.

Akeidat Yitzchak

Normally, we encounter the word eychah as introducing a lament. The term as described in our opening Midrash as fitting Israel when it was at the height of its glory, on a spiritually lofty plane, is therefore somewhat puzzling.
