Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
Yet will I leave a remnant - mitigation of the extreme severity of their punishment; still their life shall be a wretched one, and linked with exile (Ezekiel 5:2; Ezekiel 5:12; Ezekiel 12:16; Ezekiel 14:22; Jeremiah 44:28).
