Ezekiel 32:6

Judgment

4 I will abandon you on the land and hurl you into the open field. I will cause all the birds of the air to settle upon you, and all the beasts of the earth to eat their fill of you.

5 I will put your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.

I will drench the land with the flow of your blood, all the way to the mountains— the ravines will be filled.

7 When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

8 All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’ declares the Lord GOD.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
