Context — A Lament for Pharaoh King of Egypt
3This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will spread My net over you with a company of many peoples, and they will draw you up in My net.
4I will abandon you on the land and hurl you into the open field. I will cause all the birds of the air to settle upon you, and all the beasts of the earth to eat their fill of you.
5I will put your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.
6I will drench the land with the flow of your blood, all the way to the mountains— the ravines will be filled. 7When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 32:5
And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains,.... The remainder of it, left by the birds and beasts of prey, and who might carry it thither; or it intends such of the Egyptians who should flee to the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 32:5
And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height. I will ... fill the valleys with thy height - thy hugeness (Fairbairn).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 32:5
Will lay; throw or cast. Thy flesh; the carcasses of thy slain men and soldiers. Upon the mountains; whither they retired for safety. Fill the valleys; not so fill them as to equal them in height with hills, but we say a man fills a place who scatters much or many things though but on the surface; so here valleys filled. With thy height; with the carcasses of thy princes, as the Chaldee paraphrast I think hits right; and so the French, et remplirai les vallies de tee glorieux qu’ on aura abbatus.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 32:5
Ezekiel 32:5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.Ver. 5. With thy height.] Celsitudine tua; with thy glory, which thou holdest dearer than thy flesh or life. Oecolamp.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 32:5
Verse 5. And fill the valleys with thy height.] Some translate, with the worms, which should proceed from the putrefaction of his flesh.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 32:5
5. Cf. Ezekiel 31:12 Other suggestions for “height” have little probability.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 32:5
The prophet passes from the image of the crocodile to that of dead bodies of the slain heaped up on the land. Some render “height,” “foulness.”
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 32:5
4, 5. Compare Ezekiel 29:5; Ezekiel 31:12-13. The vultures and jackals feed on the carcass, the foulness of which fills the whole land. For A.V. height the Peshito reads “worms.”
