Jeremiah 19:3-8
3and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, you 1kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold I am going to bring a 2disaster upon this place, at which the 3ears of everyone that hears of it will tingle.
4Since they have 4abandoned Me and have 5made this place foreign, and have burned 6sacrifices in it to 7other gods that neither they nor their forefathers nor the kings of Judah had ever known, and since they have filled this place with the 8blood of the innocent
5and have built the 9high places of Baal to burn their 10sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, a thing which I did not command nor speak of, nor did it ever enter My 11mind;
6therefore, behold, 12days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this place will no longer be called 13Topheth or 14the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but rather the Valley of Slaughter.
7And I will 15frustrate the planning of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and 16I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their life; and I will make their 17carcasses food for the birds of the sky and the animals of the earth.
8I will also turn this city into an object of 18horror and 19hissing; 20everyone who passes by it will be appalled and 21hiss because of all its 22disasters.
