24
“They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 24. Men; rebellious Jews and persecutors, who perish miserably.—Flesh. Josephus (Bel. vi. 16.) describes the horrors of the last siege of Jerusalem. The prophet may allude to the fires kept up in the vale of Hinnon; (Calmet. 30:33) and our Saviour applies this text to the damned. Mark 9:43. All shall condemn them. Calmet.
