17. ( :- ). sacrifice —Anciently worshippers feasted on the sacrifices. The birds and beasts of prey are invited to the sacrificial feast provided by God (compare Isaiah 18:6 ; Isaiah 34:6 ; Zephaniah 1:7 ; Mark 9:49 ). Here this sacrifice holds only a subordinate place in the picture, and so is put last. Not only shall their bones lie long unburied, but they shall be stripped of the flesh by beasts and birds of prey. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-18" class="com-number"
