I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.

I will even give them - resuming the sentence begun, but not completed, Jeremiah 34:18, "I will give the men," etc.

Into the hand of them that seek their life - implacably: satisfied with nothing short of their blood: not content with booty.

Their dead bodies - the breakers of the covenant shall be cut in pieces, as the calf between whose parts they passed.
