Ezequiel 32:5

5 Pondré tu carne sobre los montes, y llenaré los valles de tu carroña.

Ezequiel 32:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:5

And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains
The remainder of it, left by the birds and beasts of prey, and who might carry it thither; or it intends such of the Egyptians who should flee to the mountains for safety, but should fall by the hands of the enemy there. So the Targum,

``and I will give the flesh of thy slain upon the mountains.''

And fill the valleys with thy height;
his huge army, and with which he prided and lifted up himself, and thought himself safe in; which should fall in such great numbers as to cover the plains and valleys where the battle was fought. Jarchi observes, that the word for "height" has with some the signification of "worms"; and so the Syriac version renders it, "and the valleys shall be filled with thy worms"; bred in the carcasses of the slain: and so the Vulgate Latin version, "with corrupt matter"; such as issues out of putrefied wounds. The Targum very rightly paraphrases it,

``the valleys shall be filled with the carcasses of thine army.''

Ezequiel 32:5 In-Context

3 Así dice el Señor DIOS: Mi red sobre ti tenderé en compañía de muchos pueblos, y ellos te alzarán en mi red.

4 Te dejaré en tierra, te echaré en campo abierto, y haré que habiten sobre ti todas las aves del cielo, y saciaré de ti a las bestias de toda la tierra.

5 Pondré tu carne sobre los montes, y llenaré los valles de tu carroña.

6 También haré que la tierra se empape con el derramamiento de tu sangre hasta los montes, y las barrancas se llenarán de ti.

7 Cuando te hayas extinguido, cubriré los cielos y oscureceré sus estrellas; cubriré el sol de nubes, y la luna no dará su luz.
