24:008:001 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: 

24:008:002 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.

24:008:003 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.

24:008:004 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the lord; Shall
           they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?

24:008:005 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a
           perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to
           return.

24:008:006 I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright:  no man
           repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done?
           every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the
           battle.

24:008:007 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and
           the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of
           their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the lord.

24:008:008 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the lord is with
           us?  Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes
           is in vain.

24:008:009 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken:  lo,
           they have rejected the word of the lord; and what wisdom is in
           them?

24:008:010 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their
           fields to them that shall inherit them:  for every one from the
           least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from
           the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

24:008:011 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people
           slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

24:008:012 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay,
           they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: 
           therefore shall they fall among them that fall:  in the time of
           their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the lord.
