Charles Ellicott Commentary Leviticus 26:32

"And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it." — Leviticus 26:32 (ASV)

And I will bring the land into desolation. Better, And I myself will bring, etc. From the ruin of the cities and the sanctuaries, the desolation extends to the whole country.

While the devastations previously were the result of God permitting hostile invasions and conquests, the desolation of the whole country and the dispersion of the Israelites described in the following verses are to be the work of God Himself.

He who has promised to bless the land in so marvellous a manner (Leviticus 26:4–10) as a reward for their obedience, will Himself reduce it to the most astounding desolation as a punishment for their disobedience, so much so, that their very enemies will be amazed at it (Jeremiah 9:11; Ezekiel 5:15; Ezekiel 33:28–29; Ezekiel 35:10; Ezekiel 36:5).
