Jeremiah 8:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
1
At that time,' declares the
Lord
, 'they will bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its leaders, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem from their graves.
2
They will spread them out to the sun, the moon, and to all the heavenly lights, which they have loved, which they have served, which they have followed, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered nor buried; they will be like dung on the face of the ground.
3
And death will be chosen rather than life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family, that remains in all the places to which I have driven them,' declares the
Lord
of armies.
4
You shall say to them, ‘This is what the
Lord
says:
'Do
people
fall and not get up?
Does one turn away and not repent?
5
Why has this people, Jerusalem,
Turned away in continual apostasy?
They hold on to deceit,
They refuse to return.
King James Version
Chapter 8
1
At that time, saith the
Lord
, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
2
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.
3
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.
4
Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the
Lord
; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
1
"At that time"—this is the
Lord
’s declaration—"the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of her officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the residents of Jerusalem will be brought out of their graves.
2
They will be exposed to the sun, the moon, and all the stars in the sky, which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be collected and buried but will become like manure on the soil’s surface.
3
Death will be chosen over life by all the survivors of this evil family, those who remain wherever I have banished them." This is the declaration of the
Lord
of Armies.
4
"You are to say to them: This is what the
Lord
says:
Do people fall and not get up again?
If they turn away, do they not return?
5
Why have these people turned away?
Why is Jerusalem always turning away?
They take hold of deceit;
they refuse to return.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
1
In that day,' says the
Lord
, 'the enemy will break open the graves of the kings and officials of Judah, and the graves of the priests, prophets, and common people of Jerusalem.
2
They will spread out their bones on the ground before the sun, moon, and stars — the gods my people have loved, served, and worshiped. Their bones will not be gathered up again or buried but will be scattered on the ground like manure.
3
And the people of this evil nation who survive will wish to die rather than live where I will send them. I, the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!
4
Jeremiah, say to the people, ‘This is what the
Lord
says:
'‘When people fall down, don’t they get up again?
When they discover they’re on the wrong road, don’t they turn back?
5
Then why do these people stay on their self-destructive path?
Why do the people of Jerusalem refuse to turn back?
They cling tightly to their lies
and will not turn around.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
1
"At that time, declares the
Lord
, 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 shall be brought out of their tombs.
2
And they shall be spread before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served, which they have gone after, and which they have sought and worshiped. And they shall not be gathered or buried. They shall be as dung on the surface of the ground.
3
Death shall be preferred to life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family in all the places where I have driven them, declares the
Lord
of hosts.
4
"You shall say to them, Thus says the
Lord
:
When men fall, do they not rise again?
If one turns away, does he not return?
5
Why then has this people turned away
in perpetual backsliding?
They hold fast to deceit;
they refuse to return.
New International Version
Chapter 8
1
" ‘At that time, declares the
Lord
, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.
2
They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.
3
Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the
Lord
Almighty.’
4
"Say to them, ‘This is what the
Lord
says:
" ‘When people fall down, do they not get up?
When someone turns away, do they not return?
5
Why then have these people turned away?
Why does Jerusalem always turn away?
They cling to deceit;
they refuse to return.
New King James Version

“At that time,” says the
Lord
, “they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
2
They shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked, which they have sought and which they have worshiped. They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be like refuse on the face of the earth.
3
Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the
Lord
of hosts.
4
“Moreover you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the
Lord
:
“Will they fall and not rise?
Will one turn away and not return?
5
Why has this people slidden back,
Jerusalem, in a perpetual backsliding?
They hold fast to deceit,
They refuse to return.
