OET-LV And_they_will_spread_them_out to_sun and_to_moon and_to/for_all the_soldier/messenger_of the_heavens which they_loved_them and_which they_served_them and_which they_walked after_them and_which they_consulted_them and_which they_bowed_down to/for_them not they_will_be_gathered and_not they_will_be_buried (into)_dung on the_surface_of the_soil they_will_become.
OET (OET-RV) Then they’ll spread them out under the sun, moon, and stars—the heavenly bodies that they loved and served, and that they followed after and searched for, and that they bowed down to. Those bones won’t be collected up, and they won’t be buried again. They’ll be like dung across the surface of the land.
(Occurrence 0) will spread them out
(Some words not found in UHB: and,they,will_spread_them_out to,sun and,to,moon and=to/for=all host_of the=heavens which/who they,loved_them and=which they,served_them and,which gone after,them and=which they,consulted_them and=which worshipped to/for=them not gathered and=not buried (into),dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=soil be )
The word “them” refers to the bones of the people listed in the previous verse.

(Occurrence 0) that they have followed and served, that they have walked after and sought, and that they have worshiped
(Some words not found in UHB: and,they,will_spread_them_out to,sun and,to,moon and=to/for=all host_of the=heavens which/who they,loved_them and=which they,served_them and,which gone after,them and=which they,consulted_them and=which worshipped to/for=them not gathered and=not buried (into),dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=soil be )
The word “they” here refers to the people of Judah. These three phrases mean about the same thing and are repeated for emphasis.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) walked after
(Some words not found in UHB: and,they,will_spread_them_out to,sun and,to,moon and=to/for=all host_of the=heavens which/who they,loved_them and=which they,served_them and,which gone after,them and=which they,consulted_them and=which worshipped to/for=them not gathered and=not buried (into),dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=soil be )
This is a metaphor for serving or worshiping. See how you translated this in Jeremiah 2:23.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) The bones will not be gathered or buried again
(Some words not found in UHB: and,they,will_spread_them_out to,sun and,to,moon and=to/for=all host_of the=heavens which/who they,loved_them and=which they,served_them and,which gone after,them and=which they,consulted_them and=which worshipped to/for=them not gathered and=not buried (into),dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=soil be )
This can be expressed in active form. Alternate translation: [No one will gather their bones or bury them again]
(Occurrence 0) on the surface of the earth
(Some words not found in UHB: and,they,will_spread_them_out to,sun and,to,moon and=to/for=all host_of the=heavens which/who they,loved_them and=which they,served_them and,which gone after,them and=which they,consulted_them and=which worshipped to/for=them not gathered and=not buried (into),dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=soil be )
Alternate translation: [all over the ground]

OET (OET-RV) Then they’ll spread them out under the sun, moon, and stars—the heavenly bodies that they loved and served, and that they followed after and searched for, and that they bowed down to. Those bones won’t be collected up, and they won’t be buried again. They’ll be like dung across the surface of the land.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
