corpses of men will fall like dung in the fields
AT: "dead bodies will drop everywhere like animal poop drops all over the fields." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)

AT: "and like stalks of grain fall everywhere after the farmers cut them down."
and there will be no one to gather them
"and there will be nobody to gather the dead bodies"
