What does Leviticus 26:32 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Leviticus 26:32
And I will bring the land into desolation
The whole country of Judea, cities, towns, villages, fields,
vineyards through the ravage and plunder of the enemy; and they
being driven out of it, and carried captive from it, and so the
land left untilled, and become barren and unfruitful: and
your enemies which dwell therein;
having destroyed them, or cast them out, and sent them into other
countries, and took possession of theirs in their room;
shall be astonished at it;
at the desolation of the land, that such a fruitful country, a
land flowing with milk and honey, should be turned into
barrenness, for the wickedness of its inhabitants, and shall be
amazed at the judgments of God upon them and that.
