Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
Ver. 3. Their slain also shall be cast out.] Buried with the burial of an ass, Jer 22:19 which Cicero somewhere calleth sepulturam insepultam and unburied grave. This may also befall such as for God's sake are slain all the day long; but to them it is no such judgment: Coelo tegitur qui caret urna.
And their stink shall come up out of their carcases.] They stink alive as goats, as whited tombs, as walking dunghills; and now their dead carcases also shall stink above ground.
And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.] Iuste omnino, because they moistened the earth with the blood of God's people, and dunged the land with their dead carcases.
