English - Five Volume Translation

Is it because we unjustly took them for a laughing stock or have the eyes missed them?’[3424]

Commentary:

The verse means to say that the inmates of Hell will say to one another, "What is the matter with us that we do not see here those men whom we looked down upon as of no consequence and whom we mocked and ridiculed in the earthly life. Did they not deserve our ridicule and were really good and godly men or are they in Hell but we do not see them?"
