Jeremiah 19:7-12
7I will 1make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and 2I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their life; and I will give over their 3carcasses as food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth. 8I will also make this city a 4desolation and an object of hissing; 5everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its 6disasters. 9I will make them 7eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies and those who seek their life will distress them.”’
10“Then you are to break the 8jar in the sight of the men who accompany you 11and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Just so will I 9break this people and this city, even as one breaks a potter’s vessel, which cannot again be repaired; and they will 10bury in Topheth 11because there is no other place for burial. 12This is how I will treat this place and its inhabitants,” declares the Lord, “so as to make this city like Topheth.
