"And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And thou shall become an astonishment,.... To neighbouring nations, that shall hear of their overthrow and captivity, and that shall see the miserable condition they are brought into: a proverb
and a byword among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee; both for the wickedness committed by them, and for the ill usage of them by the nations among whom they should be, as they were in the Babylonish captivity; see Jer 24:9 ; and now are, it being common to say,"do you think I am a Jew?''or,"none but a Jew would have done such a thing.''
