Jeremiah 8:1-3

International Standard Version

8 “At that time,” declares the Lord, “the bones of the king of Judah, the bones of his officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the residents of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves. ² They’ll be spread out to the sun, the moon, and all the stars of the heavens, which they loved and served,^[a] and which they followed, consulted, and worshipped. Their bones^[b] won’t be collected, nor will they be buried. They’ll be like dung on the surface of the ground.

³ “In all the places where the people^[c] remain, where I’ve banished them, death will be chosen over life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family,” declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
