Jeremiah 8:2

8:2 They will be spread out and exposed to the sun, the moon and the stars.2 These are things they3 adored and served, things to which they paid allegiance,4 from which they sought guidance, and worshiped. The bones of these people5 will never be regathered and reburied. They will be like manure used to fertilize the ground.6
