# They carry their own shame

Shame is spoken of as if it were an object that one could carry where he goes. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 32:25](../32/25.md). Alternate translation: "who feel ashamed" or "who are now disgraced" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# the pit

|
"The pit" refers to the grave; because the grave was thought to be the entrance to the world of the dead, the pit also represents that world. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 32:29](../32/29.md).
