Those who survive him will be buried in death, and his widows will not weep, extending the depiction of the wicked's end by describing the isolation and degradation that accompanies it—survivors will receive burial without mourning, dishonored death. The phrase buried in death emphasizes that death awaits the wicked regardless of circumstance, that survival offers no ultimate escape. The assertion that widows will not weep suggests either that the wicked will leave no widows because their families die with them, or that any surviving widows will feel no grief at the wicked's death, indicating how despised the wicked has become. Either interpretation emphasizes the wicked's complete isolation and lack of loved ones to honor their memory.
