1At that time, declares Yahweh, they will bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem from their graves.

2And they will spread them out before the sun and the moon and all the host of the heavens, which they loved and which they served and after which they walked and which they sought and to which they bowed down. They will not be gathered, and they will not be buried; they will become dung on the surface of the ground.

3And death will be chosen rather than life by all the remnant who remain from this evil family, in all the places where the remnant remain, where I have driven them—declares Yahweh of hosts.
