Revised Literal Translation
Jeremiah 19:2-6
2And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,1
3And say, Hear ye the word of Yhwh, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
6Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
