Jeremiah 19:4-7
4Since they have 1abandoned Me and have 2made this place foreign, and have burned 3sacrifices in it to 4other gods that neither they nor their forefathers nor the kings of Judah had ever known, and since they have filled this place with the 5blood of the innocent
5and have built the 6high places of Baal to burn their 7sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, a thing which I did not command nor speak of, nor did it ever enter My 8mind;
6therefore, behold, 9days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this place will no longer be called 10Topheth or 11the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but rather the Valley of Slaughter.
7And I will 12frustrate the planning of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and 13I 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 14carcasses food for the birds of the sky and the animals of the earth.
