John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 6:8

"Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries." — Ezekiel 6:8 (ASV)

Yet will I leave a remnant Not in Judea, but in Babylon, and in the countries where they should be dispersed, as follows:

that you may have [some] that shall escape the sword among the nations ; which was threatened to be drawn, and sent after them, (Ezekiel 5:2Ezekiel 5:12) ; but all should not perish by if; some should escape; for this was not the time to make a full end of them:

when you shall be scattered through the countries ; that is, of Egypt, Ammon, Moab, and Assyria; for this respects their dispersion at the time of the Babylonish captivity, and not their present dispersion.
