Charles Ellicott Commentary Deuteronomy 28:37

"And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples whither Jehovah shall lead thee away." — Deuteronomy 28:37 (ASV)

And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword. —This verse is contrary to Deuteronomy 28:10. It was verified in the first captivity, and did not wait for the last dispersion. (See 1 Kings 9:7–9, where the threat is repeated; Jeremiah 42:18; Ezekiel 36:20–22.)
