“But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.”
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet—the vivid depiction of the king cast out without burial, treated as refuse and corpse. The comparisons to a branch and to raiment of the slain suggest that the king is reduced to worthlessness. This verse emphasizes the extreme degradation of the Babylon king's final state.
