Jeremiah 19:3-8

3and sayH559, ‘HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, you 1kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “BeholdH2009 I am going to bringH935 a 2disasterH7463 upon thisH2088 placeH4725, at whichH834 the 3earsH241 of everyoneH3605 that hearsH8085 of it will tingleH6750.

4SinceH3282H834 they have 4abandonedH5800 Me and have 5madeH5235 thisH2088 placeH4725 foreignH5235, and have burnedH6999 6sacrificesH6999 in it to 7otherH312 godsH430 that neitherH3808 they norH3808 their forefathersH1 norH3808 the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had ever knownH3045, and since they have filledH4390 thisH2088 placeH4725 with the 8bloodH1818 of the innocentH5355

5and have builtH1129 the 9highH1116 placesH1116 of BaalH1168 to burnH8313 their 10sonsH1121 in the fireH784 as burntH5930 offeringsH5930 to BaalH1168, a thing whichH834 I did not commandH6680 nor speakH1696 of, norH3808 did it ever enterH5927 My 11mindH3820;

6thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, 12daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “when thisH2088 placeH4725 will noH3808 longerH5750 be calledH7121 13TophethH8612 or 14the ValleyH1516 of Ben-hinnomH1121H2011, but ratherH3588H518 the ValleyH1516 of SlaughterH2028.

7And I will 15frustrateH1238 the planningH6098 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in thisH2088 placeH4725, and 16I will make them fallH5307 by the swordH2719 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340 and by the handH3027 of those who seekH1245 their lifeH5315; and I will makeH5414 their 17carcassesH5038 foodH3978 for the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the animalsH929 of the earthH776.

8I will also turnH7760 thisH2088 cityH5892 into an objectH8047 ofH8047 18horrorH8047 and 19hissingH8322; 20everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by it will beH8074 appalledH8074 and 21hissH8319 becauseH5921 of allH3605 its 22disastersH4347.
