Chapter 8

¹ At that time, says the Lord, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of its priests and prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will be exhumed from their graves. ² They will be spread out before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven which they loved and served, and which they followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be gathered up and buried but will be left upon the ground like dung. ³ And death will be preferred to life by the survivors of the wicked race in any of the places to which I have banished them, says the Lord of hosts.
