Isaiah 66:24

And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: *their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.

Mark 9:45.

Men; rebellious Jews and persecutors, who perish miserably. --- Flesh. Josephus (Jewish Wars 6:16.) describes the horrors of the last siege of Jerusalem. The prophet may allude to the fires kept up in the vale of Hinnon; (chap. 30:33.) and our Saviour applies this text to the damned, Mark 9:43. All shall condemn them. (Calmet) Accedat lacrymis odium, dignusque puteris Ut mala cum tuleris plurima, plura feras. (Ovid in Ibin.)
