Upon the necks of them that are slain; to bring thee under the sword of the Chaldeans, and to destroy thee as the Jews are, who already are fallen under the destroying sword; to make thee stumble and fall on their necks, as men that fall among a multitude of slain. Of the wicked, i.e. both Jews and their king, as Ezekiel 21:25. Their iniquity shall have an end: see Ezekiel 21:25.
