Jeremiah 19:7-12
7I will spoil the plans of Judah and Jerusalem in this place. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, by the hand of those who intend to take their life. I will provide their corpses as food for the birds of the sky and for the wild animals of the land.
8I will make this city desolate, an object of scorn. Everyone who passes by it will be appalled and scoff because of all its wounds.
9I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and their daughters, and they will eat each other’s flesh in the distressing siege inflicted on them by their enemies who intend to take their life.’
10“Then you are to shatter the jar in the presence of the people going with you,
11and you are to proclaim to them, ‘This is what the Lord of Armies says: I will shatter these people and this city, like one shatters a potter’s jar that can never again be mended. They will bury the dead in Topheth because there is no other place for burials.
12That is what I will do to this place — this is the declaration of the Lord — and to its residents, making this city like Topheth.
