Jeremiah 19:7-12

7And I will 1frustrate the planning of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and 2I 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 3carcasses food for the birds of the sky and the animals of the earth. 8I will also turn this city into an object of 4horror and 5hissing; 6everyone who passes by it will be appalled and 7hiss because of all its 8disasters. 9And I will make them 9eat 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.”’

10“Then you are to break the 10jar in the sight of the men who accompany you, 11and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “To the same extent I will 11break this people and this city, just as one breaks a potter’s vessel, which cannot again be repaired; and they will 12bury their dead in Topheth, 13because 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.
