“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.”
The continuation of the desecration: 'They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.' This verse continues the image of dishonored dead: they will remain unburied, scattered like dung, denied even the basic dignity of burial. The comparison to dung emphasizes the extent of humiliation. Theologically, this verse reinforces that the judgment is total and humiliating, denying the basic respect owed to the dead.
