Exegesis

The locative preposition bakhem {בָּכֶם | ba-ḵem} ‘among you’ situates the survivors, followed by the imperfect verb yimmaku {יִמַּקּוּ | yim-ma-qû} ‘shall waste away’, indicating ongoing decay.

In contextLeviticus 26:39

And those who remain among you will waste away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they will waste away with them.
