Jeremiah 19:6-9

6therefore, behold, 1days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this place will no longer be called 2Topheth or 3the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but rather the Valley of Slaughter. 7And I will 4frustrate the planning of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and 5I 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 6carcasses food for the birds of the sky and the animals of the earth. 8I will also turn this city into an object of 7horror and 8hissing; 9everyone who passes by it will be appalled and 10hiss because of all its 11disasters. 9And I will make them 12eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh during the siege and in the hardship with which their enemies and those who seek their life will torment them.”’
