The bones of these people ⁵  will never be regathered and reburied. They will be like manure used to fertilize the ground. ⁶ 

Yeremia 16:4

Yeremia 25:33

25:33 Those who have been killed by the Lord at that time

Despite all this, his anger does not subside,

and his hand is ready to strike again. ¹⁸ 

Zefanya 1:17

1:17 I will bring distress on the people ¹⁹ 

and they will stumble ²⁰  like blind men,

for they have sinned against the Lord.

Their blood will be poured out like dirt;

their flesh ²¹  will be scattered ²²  like manure.

[7:33]  ¹ tn Heb “Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.”

[8:2]  ² tc MT, 4QJer^a and LXX read “the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven,” but 4QJer^c reads “the sun and all the stars.”

[8:2]  tn Heb “the host of heaven.”

[8:2]  ³ tn Heb “the sun, moon, and host of heaven which they…”

[8:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “followed after.” See the translator’s note at 2:5 for the idiom.

[8:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “they will not” but the referent is far enough removed that it might be ambiguous.

[8:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “like dung/manure on the surface of the ground.”

[25:33]  ⁷ sn The intent here is to emphasize the large quantity of those who are killed – there will be too many to insure proper mourning rites and proper burial.

[9:37]  ⁹ tn Grk “It happened that in those days.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[9:37]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “becoming sick, she died.” The participle ἀσθενήσασαν (asqenhsasan) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[9:37]  ¹¹ tn The participle λούσαντες (lousante") is taken temporally.

[9:37]  ¹² tn Grk “washed her,” but the reference is to her corpse.

[83:10]  ¹³ sn Endor is not mentioned in the accounts of Gideon’s or Barak’s victories, but both battles took place in the general vicinity of the town. (See Y. Aharoni and M. Avi-Yonah, The Macmillan Bible Atlas, 46, 54.) Because Sisera and Jabin are mentioned in v. 9b, many understand them to be the subject of the verbs in v. 10, though they relate v. 10 to Gideon’s victory, which is referred to in v. 9a, 11. (See, for example, Y. Aharoni, The Land of the Bible, 263.)

[83:10]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “they were manure.” In addition to this passage, corpses are compared to manure in 2 Kgs 9:37; Jer 8:2; 9:21; 16:4; 25:33.

[5:25]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the anger of the Lord rages.”

[5:25]  ¹⁶ tn Or “extends”; KJV, ASV “he hath stretched forth.”

[5:25]  ¹⁷ tn Or “garbage” (NCV, CEV, NLT); NAB, NASB, NIV “refuse.”

[5:25]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “in all this his anger is not turned, and still his hand is outstretched.”

[1:17]  ¹⁹ tn “The people” refers to mankind in general (see vv. 2-3) or more specifically to the residents of Judah (see vv. 4-13).

[1:17]  ²⁰ tn Heb “walk.”

[1:17]  ²¹ tn Some take the referent of “flesh” to be more specific here; cf. NEB (“bowels”), NAB (“brains”), NIV (“entrails”).

[1:17]  ²² tn The words “will be scattered” are supplied in the translation for clarity based on the parallelism with “will be poured out” in the previous line.
