Death Over Life

Their bones will not be collected and buried but will become like manure on the surface of the soil. 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 Hosts. ⁴ “You are to say to them: This is what the Lord says:
