33 And the slain of the Lord shall be in the day of the Lord from end of the earth even to the end of the earth: they shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.

Jeremias 32:33 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:33

And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face
When he reproved them for their sins; called them to repentance; instructed them in their duty; and warned them of the dangers they exposed themselves to; instead of turning the face to him, as scholars to their masters, and as subjects to their prince, to listen to what was said to them; they turned their backs or necks, the hinder part of them; expressive of contempt, and showing great rudeness and irreverence: though I taught them, rising up early, and teaching [them];
by his prophets, as the Targum; whom he sent to them early in the morning; or in the early time of their life; or when they first began to practise idolatry; so careful was the Lord of them; so diligent to instruct them, and prevent their ruin: yet have not hearkened, to receive instruction;
or "correction" ^F9; so as to repent of their sins, reform and amend; see ( Jeremiah 7:13 Jeremiah 7:25 Jeremiah 7:26 ) .

Jeremias 32:33 In-Context

31 upon part of the earth; for the Lord a controversy with the nations, he is pleading with all flesh, and the ungodly are given to the sword, saith the Lord.

32 Thus said the Lord; Behold, evils are proceeding from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind goes forth from the end of the earth.

33 And the slain of the Lord shall be in the day of the Lord from end of the earth even to the end of the earth: they shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.

34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and lament, ye rams of the flock: for your days have been completed for slaughter, and ye shall fall as the choice rams.

35 And flight shall perish from the shepherds, and safety from the rams of the flock.
