Yeremia 8:2
Konteks8:2 They will be spread out and exposed to the sun, the moon and the stars. 1 These are things they 2 adored and served, things to which they paid allegiance, 3 from which they sought guidance, and worshiped. The bones of these people 4 will never be regathered and reburied. They will be like manure used to fertilize the ground. 5
Yeremia 19:13
Konteks19:13 The houses in Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be defiled by dead bodies 6 just like this place, Topheth. For they offered sacrifice to the stars 7 and poured out drink offerings to other gods on the roofs of those houses.’”

[8:2] tn Heb “the host of heaven.”
[8:2] 2 tn Heb “the sun, moon, and host of heaven which they…”
[8:2] 3 tn Heb “followed after.” See the translator’s note at 2:5 for the idiom.
[8:2] 4 tn Heb “they will not” but the referent is far enough removed that it might be ambiguous.
[8:2] 5 tn Heb “like dung/manure on the surface of the ground.”
[19:13] 6 tn The words “by dead bodies” is not in the text but is implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.
