Contextual Overview
30 The Lord told me to say: From my sacred temple I will roar like thunder, while I trample my people and everyone else as though they were grapes. 31 My voice will be heard everywhere on earth, accusing nations of their crimes and sentencing the guilty to death. 32 The Lord All-Powerful says: You can see disaster spreading from far across the earth, from nation to nation like a horrible storm. 33 When it strikes, I will kill so many people that their bodies will cover the ground like manure. No one will be left to bury them or to mourn. 34 The Lord 's people are his flock, and you leaders were the shepherds. But now it's your turn to be butchered like sheep. You'll shatter like fine pottery dropped on the floor. So roll on the ground, crying and mourning. 35 You have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. 36 Listen to the cries of the shepherds, 37 as the Lord 's burning anger turns peaceful meadows into barren deserts. 38 The Lord has abandoned his people like a lion leaving its den.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the slain of the Lord,.... Slain by his permission, yea, by his orders, according to his will, in his wrath and sore displeasure, and to glorify his vindictive justice:
shall be at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth; not that this should be at one and the same time; for there never was such a time, that there was such a general slaughter in the world, that the slain should reach from one end to the other; but that within the dispensation, in which the cup should go round to all nations, meant by "that day", the slain of the Lord would be in all parts of the world; or that, according to his will, there would be a great slaughter everywhere, as the cup went round, or the sword was sent, first ravaging one country, and then another;
they shall not be lamented; having no pity from their enemies; and as for their friends, they will share the same rite with them; so that there will be none to mourn over them:
neither gathered; taken up from the field of battle where they fall; but, where they should fall, there they should lie; none gathering up their bodies or bones, in order for interment:
nor buried; in the sepulchres of their fathers, nor indeed in any place, or in any manner; as not in any grand and magnificent manner, so not so much as in a common way;
they shall be dung upon the ground; spread upon it, and lie above it, as dung, to manure the earth.
