Jeremiah 7:29-34

291Cut off 2your hair and throw it away, And 3take up a song of mourning on the bare heights; For the Lord has 4rejected and forsaken The generation of His wrath.’ 30For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight,” declares the Lord. “They have 5put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 31They have 6built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, to 7burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I 8did not command, and it did not come into My 9mind.

32“10Therefore, behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be called Topheth, or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of the Slaughter; for they will 11bury in Topheth 12because there is no other place. 33The 13dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth; and no one will frighten them away. 34Then I will 14eliminate from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride; for the 15land will become a site of ruins.
