Verse Jeremiah 34:5. Thou shalt die in peace] Thou shalt not die a violent death; and at thy death thou shalt have all those funereal solemnities which were usual at the demise of kings. See 2 Chronicles 16:14.

So shall they burn odours for thee] Scented wood and other odoriferous substances are placed on the funeral pile of the rich Hindoos, and burned with the body.

And they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord!] They will recite the funeral dirge that begins with those words. Jeremiah 22:18.
