2 and they shall spread them out to the sun, and the moon, and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and to which they have held, and which they have worshipped; they shall not be mourned for, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be for an example on the face of the earth,

3 because they chose death rather than life, even to all the remnant that are left of that family, in every place whither I shall drive them out.

10 Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to inheritors; and they shall gather their fruits, saith the Lord.
