“Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.”
Without Me they will crouch among the captives or fall among the slain—the grim alternatives facing the oppressors when judgment arrives: either enslavement or death. The phrase 'without Me' emphasizes that their destruction occurs because God withdraws His protective hand, leaving them defenseless before the forces of judgment they have invited. This verse completes the indictment of the unjust legislators, stating unambiguously their final destination.
