And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 8 of Jeremiah. The desecration of the tombs symbolizes the complete humiliation of those who trusted in other gods. Jeremiah denounces the people’s failure to repent even while witnessing the consequences of their sin. In contrast, birds know their appointed seasons, while Israel does not recognize the time of its own accountability before God.

und wird sie hinstreuen unter Sonne, Mond und alles Heer des Himmels, welche sie geliebt und denen sie gedient haben, denen sie nachgefolgt sind und die sie gesucht und angebetet haben. Sie sollen nicht wieder aufgelesen und begraben werden, sondern Kot auf der Erde sein.
Y los esparcirán al sol, y a la luna, y a todo el ejército del cielo, a quien amaron, y a quienes sirvieron, y en pos de quienes anduvieron, y a quienes preguntaron, y a quienes se encorvaron. No serán recogidos, ni enterrados: serán por muladar sobre la haz de la tierra.
On les étendra devant le soleil, devant la lune, et devant toute l'armée des cieux, qu'ils ont aimés, qu'ils ont servis, qu'ils ont suivis, qu'ils ont recherchés, et devant lesquels ils se sont prosternés; on ne les recueillera point, on ne les enterrera point, et ils seront comme du fumier sur la terre.
E saranno sparse al sole, e alla luna, ed a tutto l’esercito del cielo; le quali cose essi hanno amate, ed hanno lor servito, e sono loro andati dietro, e l’hanno ricercate, e l’hanno adorate; quell’ossa non saranno raccolte, nè seppellite; saranno come letame in su la faccia della terra.
E expô-los-ão ao sol, e à lua, e a todo o exército do céu, a quem tinham amado, e a quem tinham servido, e após quem tinham ido, e a quem tinham buscado e diante de quem se tinham prostrado; não serão recolhidos nem sepultados; serão como esterco sobre a face da terra.
散佈在太陽、月亮和天上眾星之下,就是他們從前所喜愛、所事奉、所隨從、所求問、所敬拜的。這些骸骨不被收殮,不被埋葬,必在地面上成為糞土。
