Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(38) And ye shall perish among the heathen.--Better, And ye shall be lost among the heathen, as the word here rendered "perish" is often translated. (See Deuteronomy 22:3; 1Samuel 9:3; 1Samuel 9:20; Jeremiah 1:6; Ezekiel 34:4; Ezekiel 34:16; Psalm 119:176, &c.) The context plainly shows that utter destruction is not meant here. The very next verse speaks of a remnant who are to pine away, whilst Leviticus 26:40 speaks of their confessing their guilt. . . .
