And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.

The verse 3 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 alle übrigen von diesem bösen Volk, an welchen Ort sie sein werden, dahin ich sie verstoßen habe, werden lieber tot als lebendig sein wollen, spricht der HERR Zebaoth.
Y escogerase la muerte antes que la vida por todo el resto que quedare de esta mala generación, en todos los lugares a donde los arrojaré yo a los que quedaren, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
Todos los supervivientes que queden de este linaje malvado preferirán la muerte a la vida, en todos los lugares adonde yo haya arrojado a los que queden —declara Jehová de los ejércitos—».
La mort sera préférable à la vie pour tous ceux qui resteront de cette race méchante, dans tous les lieux où je les aurai chassés, dit l'Eternel des armées.
E la morte sarà più desiderabile che la vita, a tutto il rimanente di coloro che saranno avanzati di questa nazion malvagia; in tutti i luoghi ove ne saranno rimasti alcuni di resto, ne’ quali io li avrò scacciati, dice il Signor degli eserciti
E será escolhida antes a morte do que a vida por todos os que restarem desta raça maligna, que ficarem em todos os lugares onde os lancei, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos.
這邪惡家族所倖存的餘民,就是在我趕他們到的各處所剩下的 ,全都寧可選死不選活。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」
