Jeremiah 19:4-7

4Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have estrangedH5234 this placeH4725, and have burned incenseH6999 in it unto otherH312 godsH430, whom neither they nor their fathersH1 have knownH3045, nor the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and have filledH4390 this placeH4725 with the bloodH1818 of innocentsH5355;

5They have builtH1129 also the high placesH1116 of BaalH1168, to burnH8313 their sonsH1121 with fireH784 for burnt offeringsH5930 unto BaalH1168, which I commandedH6680 not, nor spakeH1696 it, neither cameH5927 it into my mindH3820:

6Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that this placeH4725 shall no more be calledH7121 TophetH8612, nor The valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, but The valleyH1516 of slaughterH2028.

7And I will make voidH1238 the counselH6098 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in this placeH4725; and I will cause them to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, and by the handsH3027 of them that seekH1245 their livesH5315: and their carcasesH5038 will I giveH5414 to be meatH3978 for the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776.
