Jeremias 8:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:2

And they shall spread them before the sun and the moon, and all
the host of heaven
The stars. This shows, not only that they should be publicly exposed; but, as it refers to their idolatrous worship of the sun, moon, and stars, that these deities will not be able to help them; as they could not prevent their dead bodies being dug up, so neither could they order or cause them to be gathered together, and buried again: whom they have loved;
whereas they ought to have loved the Lord their God, and him only: it means an idolatrous love of and affection for them; and not the love of them, as creatures for use and delight; otherwise the light of the sun, moon, and stars, is sweet, and their influence great; and a pleasant thing it is to behold them, and especially the former of them, the fountain of light and heat: and whom they have served; more and besides the Creator of them, whom they should have served, the Lord of hosts, and him only: and after whom they have walked;
not in a natural and literal sense, but in a religious one, as is after explained: and whom they have sought;
for advice and counsel, and by making their prayers and supplications to them: and whom they have worshipped;
by bowing the knee, or kissing the hand; by offering sacrifices, and burning incense, and putting up petitions to them; by trusting in them, and expecting good things from them; see ( 2 Kings 21:3-5 ) ( 23:5 ) ( Jeremiah 7:18 ) ( Ezekiel 8:16 ) : they shall not be gathered, nor be buried:
meaning not the men that should die in those times, but the bones that should be brought out of the graves; these, having been scattered about, should not be collected together again, and replaced in their sepulchres: they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth;
that is, they should lie and rot upon the face of the earth, and crumble into dust, and become dung for it; see ( Psalms 83:10 ) .

Jeremias 8:2 In-Context

1 Naquele tempo, diz o Senhor, tirarão para fora das suas sepulturas os ossos dos reis de Judá, e os ossos dos seus príncipes, e os ossos dos sacerdotes, e os ossos dos profetas, e os ossos dos habitantes de Jerusalém;
2 e serão expostos ao sol, e � lua, e a todo o exército do céu, a quem eles amaram, e a quem serviram , e após quem andaram, e a quem buscaram, e a quem adoraram; não serão recolhidos nem sepultados; serão como esterco sobre a face da terra.
3 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.
4 Dize-lhes mais: Assim diz o Senhor: porventura cairão os homens, e não se levantarão? desviar-se-ão, e não voltarão?
5 Por que, pois, se desvia este povo de Jerusalém com uma apostasia contínua? ele retém o engano, recusa-se a voltar.
