Those impacted by the Lord’s judgment will extend from one end of the earth to the other.
The devastation caused will be so great that the dead will not be lamented, or gathered, or buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.
This language was also used to describe the judgment the Lord would bring on Judah (see Jeremiah 8:2; Jeremiah 9:22; Jeremiah 12:2; Jeremiah 16:4). The absence of mourning for the dead and their bodies not being buried describes just how overwhelming and destructive the judgment will be from one end of the earth to the other.
The words on that day
add an eschatological tone to this description of judgment.1 The actual judgment that came to Judah and the nations in the form of the Babylonian invasions, and then the judgment of Babylon itself, were all just a foretaste of the great Day of Judgment that will come at the end when the Lord calls all of humanity to finally give account to him for its wickedness.
33 Ceux que tuera l'Eternel en ce jour seront étendus D'un bout à l'autre de la terre; Ils ne seront ni pleurés, ni recueillis, ni enterrés, Ils seront comme du fumier sur la terre.
