Contextual Overview

³⁰ "As for you, [Yirmeyahu,] prophesy all these words against them; say to them, ‘ Adonai is roaring from on high, raising his voice from his holy dwelling, roaring with might against his own habitation, shouting out loud, like those who tread grapes, against everyone living on earth. ³¹ The sound resounds to the ends of the earth, for Adonai is indicting the nations, about to pass judgment on all humankind; the wicked he has handed over to the sword,' says Adonai ." ³² Thus says Adonai -Tzva'ot: "Disaster is spreading from nation to nation, a mighty tempest is being unleashed from the farthest ends of the earth." ³³ On that day, those killed by Adonai will be strewn from one end of the earth to the other; they will not be mourned or gathered or buried, but will lie on the ground like dung. ³⁴ "Wail, shepherds! Cry! Wallow in the dust, you lords of the flock! For the days for your slaughter have come. I will break you in pieces, and like a prized vase you will fall." ³⁵ The shepherds have no way to flee, the lords of the flock no way to escape. ³⁶ Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wails of the lords of the flock! For Adonai is destroying their pasture, ³⁷ the peaceful grazing grounds are silenced, because of Adonai 's fierce anger. ³⁸ Like a lion, he has abandoned his lair; for their land has become desolate because of the oppressor's fierce sword and because of Adonai 's fierce anger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the slain of the Lord,.... Slain by his permission, yea, by his orders, according to his will, in his wrath and sore displeasure, and to glorify his vindictive justice:

shall be at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth; not that this should be at one and the same time; for there never was such a time, that there was such a general slaughter in the world, that the slain should reach from one end to the other; but that within the dispensation, in which the cup should go round to all nations, meant by "that day", the slain of the Lord would be in all parts of the world; or that, according to his will, there would be a great slaughter everywhere, as the cup went round, or the sword was sent, first ravaging one country, and then another;

they shall not be lamented; having no pity from their enemies; and as for their friends, they will share the same rite with them; so that there will be none to mourn over them:

neither gathered; taken up from the field of battle where they fall; but, where they should fall, there they should lie; none gathering up their bodies or bones, in order for interment:

nor buried; in the sepulchres of their fathers, nor indeed in any place, or in any manner; as not in any grand and magnificent manner, so not so much as in a common way;

they shall be dung upon the ground; spread upon it, and lie above it, as dung, to manure the earth.
