• It was bad land fruitful only in thorns and thistles, instead of a good return for the rain drunk in from above. Only grace in an evil world makes the ground good to bring forth herbs or fruit meet for those for whose sake also it is tilled. The Spirit uses the word to deal with the ungodly, plows up the soul, as well as sows the incorruptible seed of the word of God which lives and abides. This is a wholly different thing from seeing the beauty and reasonableness of "the plan of salvation," and still more the unanswerable proofs from evidence, from which people may and do fall away on pressure. (“Hebrews 6:4-8” by W. Kelly)
• {v.7-8} The herbs and the briars equally partake of the blessing of the rain which comes from heaven, but the herbs bring forth fruit, while the briars end by being burned. (“The Danger of Apostasy: Hebrews 6:4-8” by H. Smith)

For ground which drinks the rain which comes often upon it, and produces useful herbs for those for whose sakes also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God;

W. Kelly Translation

For grounda that drank the rain coming oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for those for whose sake also it is tilled, participateth in blessing from God;

WK Translation Notes

a
It is "land" or "ground," " not "the earth" as a whole as in the KJV, nor yet as in the RV "the land," as that particular one objectively viewed, but characteristically "land"; for here English idiom as often coincides with Greek.
