Thus
says
the LORD,
"Go
and buy
a potter's
earthenware
jar,
and take some
of the elders
of the people
and some
of the senior
priests.
2
"Then go
out to the valley
of Ben-hinnom,
which
is by the entrance
of the potsherd
gate,
and proclaim
there
the words
that I tell
you,
3
and say,
'Hear
the word
of
the LORD
,
O kings
of Judah
and inhabitants
of Jerusalem:
thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
"Behold
I am about to bring
a calamity
upon this
place,
at which
the ears
of everyone
that hears
of it will tingle.
4
"Because
they have forsaken
Me and have made
this
an alien
place
and have burned sacrifices
in it to other
gods,
that neither they
nor
their forefathers
nor
the kings
of Judah
had ever known,
and because they have filled
this
place
with the blood
of the innocent
5
and have built
the high places
of Baal
to burn
their sons
in the fire
as burnt offerings
to Baal,
a thing which
I never
commanded
or spoke
of, nor
did it ever enter
My mind;
6
therefore,
behold,
days
are coming,"
declares
the LORD,
"when this
place
will no
longer
be called
Topheth
or
the valley
of Ben-hinnom,
but rather
the valley
of Slaughter.
7
"I will make void
the counsel
of Judah
and Jerusalem
in this
place,
and I will cause them to fall
by the sword
before
their enemies
and by the hand
of those who seek
their life;
and I will give
over their carcasses
as food
for the birds
of the sky
and the beasts
of the earth.
8
"I will also make
this
city
a desolation
and an object of hissing;
everyone
who passes
by it will be astonished
and hiss
because
of all
its disasters.
9
"I will make them eat
the
flesh
of their sons
and
the
flesh
of their daughters,
and they will eat
one
another's
flesh
in the siege
and in the distress
with which
their enemies
and those who seek
their life
will distress
them."'
10
"Then
you
are to break
the jar
in the sight
of the men
who accompany
you
11
and say
to them, 'Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"Just so
will I break
this
people
and
this
city,
even
as one breaks
a potter's
vessel,
which
cannot
again
be repaired;
and they will bury
in Topheth
because
there is no
other place
for burial.
12
"This is how
I will treat
this
place
and its inhabitants,"
declares
the LORD,
"so as to make
this
city
like Topheth.
13
"The houses
of Jerusalem
and
the houses
of the kings
of Judah
will be defiled
like the place
Topheth,
because of all
the houses
on whose
rooftops
they burned sacrifices
to all
the heavenly
host
and poured
out drink offerings
to other
gods."'"
14
Then Jeremiah
came
from Topheth,
where
the LORD
had sent
him to prophesy;
and he stood
in the court
of
the LORD
'S
house
and said
to all
the people:
15
"Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
'Behold,
I am about to bring
on this
city
and all
its towns
the entire
calamity
that I have declared
against
it, because
they have stiffened
their necks
so as not to heed
My words.'"
