Jeremiah 7:30-34

30For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight,” declares the Lord. “They have 1put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 31They have 2built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, to 3burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I 4did not command, and it did not come into My 5mind.

32“6Therefore, 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 7bury in Topheth 8because there is no other place. 33The 9dead 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 10eliminate 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 11land will become a site of ruins.
