Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
You're going to fall on Israel's mountains, you and your whole army and everyone with you. I'm going to leave your bodies for the hungry birds and wild animals to feed on.
God's judgment isn't just final, it's absolute.
