Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Deuteronomy 28:45

Till thou be destroyed. — Not exterminated. The root meaning of the word is connected with “smiting,” and the idea seems to be to crush. (Comp. 2 Kings 13:7 : “The king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.”) This kind of destruction is consistent with what follows in Deuteronomy 28:46, and also at the end of Deuteronomy 28:48.
