“And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.”
Jeremiah 7:33 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 7:33
The description continues: 'And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.' Denial of burial was considered a terrible curse in ancient Near Eastern culture (Deuteronomy 28:26). Bodies left for scavengers meant ultimate dishonor and covenant curse fulfillment. The phrase 'none shall fray them away' indicates such devastation that no survivors remain to protect the dead. This represents total defeat and abandonment. The reversal is complete: from covenant people to carrion for beasts.
