Leviticus 26:32 Meaning and Commentary

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.
