This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to bring disaster on this place that will make the ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. 4 For they have abandoned Me and made this place foreign. They have burned incense here to other gods—gods that neither they, their ancestors, nor the kings of Judah have known. And they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. 5 They have built high places to Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or speak of, nor did it ever enter My mind. 6 So beware! The days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 In this place, I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies and at the hands of those who seek their lives. I will give their dead bodies as food to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth. 8 I will make this city desolate and an object of scorn. Everyone who passes by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds. 9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh because of the siege and distress that their enemies and those who seek their lives will impose on them. 10 Then you are to break the jar in the presence of those who are with you. 11 And say to them, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty says: I will break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s jar that cannot be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room to bury.’ 12 This is what I will do to this place and to its inhabitants, declares the LORD: I will make this city like Topheth. 13 The houses in Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will become defiled like this place, Topheth—all the houses where they burned incense on their roofs to all the starry hosts and poured out drink offerings to other gods. 14 Jeremiah then returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of the LORD’s temple and said to all the people: 15 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to bring upon this city and all its surrounding towns all the disaster I pronounced against them, because they have stiffened their necks and refused to listen to My words.
