I didn't see the meaning of this in a biblical or religious sense. I took it on a more personal level of relations; friendship.
"What's a pound of flesh between friends"
-that is repeated throughout the song only to illustrate the perversion of what "friends" are all about, sarcastically speaking. Ironically, it's a play on words, the ingredient of what makes up a friend, by definition.
case in point:
say someone fails to recieve an apology, in a relationship that depends on one. It is ideal, an or safe to say that the realtionship between the two are over but ironically, given the ingredient..
"if your never sorry, you can't be forgiven. and if your not forgiven you can't be [forgotten]"
which means
if you can't forget someone you one had a good relations with, it's not over
The Ingredient:
"beginning w/
if your never sorry....
to...
if you're not reborn then
you can't be a baby
if you're not a baby
you can't learn how to crawl
if you cannot crawl away
then you must stay in bed all day
if you stay in bed all day
you're sure to have some visitors(i.e.) 'FRIENDS'"
this suggests that pompous people such as Ezra Pound are to be, not so much saw as an enemy but not to be mistaken for a friend either (considering they won't apologize), but by definition, people like Pound will have some visitors (friends)
who will likely pass, in empathy, and give you their time "a pound of flesh". as a play on words:
friends will eventually empathize with you even "if your never sorry" to someone who need your empathy.
