Jeremiah 19:4-7

4Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this placeH4725, and have burned incenseH6999 in it unto otherH312 godsH430, that they knewH3045 not, they and their fathersH1 and the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and have filledH4390 this placeH4725 with the bloodH1818 of innocents,

5and have builtH1129 the highH1116 placesH1116 of BaalH1168, to burnH8313 their sonsH1121 in the fireH784 for burnt-offerings unto BaalH1168; which I commandedH6680 not, nor spake it, neither cameH5927 it into my mind:

6thereforeH3651, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith Jehovah, that this placeH4725 shall no more be calledH7121 TophethH8612, nor The valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, but The valleyH1516 of SlaughterH2028.

7And I will makeH5414 void the counselH6098 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in this placeH4725; and I will cause them to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 before their enemiesH341, and by the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 their lifeH5315: and their dead bodies will I giveH5414 to be foodH3978 for the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and for the beasts of the earthH776.
