Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 9:22

22 Speak, thus saith the LORD; even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handfull after the harvest man, and none shall gather them.

lest they should think these things would never be, cease not to tell them from me, that they shall certainly come to pass, viz. what was said before, and what is said now in this verse (these words, speak, thus saith the Lord, being best read in a Parenthesis.)

Heb. A Carcase of a man, noting here and there a scattered carcase.

As Iezabel was, 2 King. 9.37. exposed to all contempt, strewed up and down on the superficies of the Earth. Heb. face of the Field, and be offensive by their stench to all that pass by, chap. 44.12.

Either laid in heaps by death as the Harvest man doth his cocks of Hay, or sheaves of Corn, or rather they shall be no more regarded, then a few scattered Ears that drop out of the Reapers hand, which either lye on the ground, and not eaten, or trod to dirt by Birds or Beasts; thus God would pour contempt upon them, which must needs be grievous to so proud a people as the Iews were.

None shall have so much respect to them, or compassion of them, as to afford burial, chap. 8.2.
