Haydock's commentary
Put. Chaldean, "torn to pieces, and your house become infamous places;" (Calmet) Protestant, "a dunghill" (Haydock)
Such cruel punishments were not uncommon. (1 Esdras vi. 11.) (Calmet)
Bessus was torn in pieces by the relations of Darius; (Diod. xvii.) and the Persians generally cut off some member of criminals. (Brisson ii.)
