Psalm 141:7

“Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.”

KJV

Meaning

The stark image conveys exposure, death, and vulnerability rather than a command to mutilate anyone.

It is an image of devastation and vulnerability, not a moral instruction to abuse bodies or the dead.

Let severe biblical imagery name the reality of violence and mortality without imitating it.
