Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look on the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die… Those that transgressed or "rebelled" against the Lord are the obstinate idolaters referred to in chaps, 65., 66. Their carcasses lie's spectacle to all who come up to worship at Jerusalem, subject to never-ending corruption and never-ending burning. According to the prophet's conception, the scene takes place on the earth, in me vicinity of Jerusalem, probably in the Valley of Hinnom, but the language may have suggested a punishment by everlasting fire in the world to come. (A. B. Davidson, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. |
