cast out--unburied (Isa 14:19).
melted--washed away as with a descending torrent. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Their slain also shall be cast out - They would lie unburied. The slaughter Would be so extensive, and the desolation would be so entire, that there would not remain enough to bury the dead (compare the notes at Isa 14:19).
And the mountains shall be melted with their blood - The expression here is evidently hyperbolical, and means that as mountains and hills are wasted away by descending showers and impetuous torrents, so the hills would be washed away by the vast quantity of blood that would be shed by the anger of Yahweh. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Cast out - Into the fields. |
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
