Leviticus 26:44

Study

       

44 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies I will neither reject them nor abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and violate my covenant with them; for I am Yehowah their God.

Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 44. But nevertheless, the Lord, when the wicked are vastated, does not cease to protect them; neither does He permit them to be utterly destroyed for the want of such protection; for He is still conjoined with them through the higher degrees of their life, which are not open, and because of this conjunction they must continue to live to eternity. For the Lord is conjoined with the wicked because they were created capable of good, and perfect in those higher degrees.
