What is the significance of "Yarkesei Vor"?

1.

Radak: You thought to dwell in Yarkesei Tzafon (13). Instead, you will descend to Yarkesei Vor, i.e. the grave.

2.

Malbim: You thought to rule over all Kochvei Kel, i.e. ascend from the depth to Shamayim. Just the contrary, your Reshus will be limited to the grave - not one Amah outside of it!
