Leviticus 26:33 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:33

And I will scatter you among the Heathen
As with a fan, ( Jeremiah 15:7 ) ; so they were at the time of the Assyrian and Babylonish captivities, some were carried to one place, and some to another, some fled to one place, and some to another, and they are at this day scattered among the several nations of the world; and will draw out a sword after you;
draw it out of its scabbard, and with it pursue after them, when fleeing or going whither they should not; as the remainder of the Jews in Judea sought to go to Egypt, contrary to the will of God, ( Jeremiah 42:16 ) ; see ( Leviticus 26:25 ) ; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste;
for want of men to till the one, and inhabit the other.

31 And I will make youre cities desolate, and bringe youre sanctuaries vnto nought, and will not smell the sauoures of youre swete odoures.

32 And I will bringe the londe vnto a wildernesse: so that youre enemyes which dwell therein shall wondre at it.

33 And I will strawe you amonge the heethen, and will drawe out a swerde after you, and youre lande shalbe wast, and youre cities desolate.

35 And as longe as it lyeth voyde it shall rest, for that it coude not reste in youre Sabbathes, when ye dwelt therein.
