81 "At that time ," declares the Lord , "they will bring out the bones of the kings of Judah and the bones of its princes , and the bones of the priests and the bones of the prophets , and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem from their graves .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 8:1
Commentary on Jeremiah 8:1-3
(Read Jeremiah 8:1-3)
Though no real hurt can be done to a dead body, yet disgrace to the remains of wicked persons may alarm those yet alive; and this reminds us that the Divine justice and punishments extend beyond the grave. Whatever befalls us here, let us humble ourselves before God, and seek his mercy.
