Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the Lord hath spoken it.

12

Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

Moreover the Lord shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Death as Sleep

The verse explicitly uses the terms "mourn," "bury," and "come to the grave," which are literal descriptions of death and burial, not metaphorical language related to sleep or unconsciousness.

Sheol / The Grave

The verse speaks of "coming to the grave" and "burying him," which are physical actions related to death, not necessarily a direct reference to the concept or state of Sheol itself. The focus is on the act of burial and the location of the grave, rather than the theological implications of the afterlife.
