And they will [carelessly] scatter [the corpses] before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which [the dead] have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked and which they have sought, inquired of, and required and which they have worshiped. They shall not be gathered, or be buried; they shall be like [a]dung upon the face of the earth.

Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 8:2 “Observe the irony. The stars look powerlessly down on the bones of their worshipers—while these send up a stench!” (Johan P. Lange, A Commentary).

They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried, but they shall be like dung upon the face of the ground. They shall perish and be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall be food for the fowls of the air and for the beasts of the earth.
