The Clay Jar

19This is what the LORD says: "Go, buy a potter's clay jug. Take some of the elders of the people and some of the elders of the priestsH559H3068H1980H7069H3335H2789H1228H2205H5971H2205H3548 2and go out to the Valley of Hinnom near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Proclaim there the words I speak to you.H3318H1516H1121H2011H6607H2777H8179H7121H1697H1696 3Say: Hear the word of the LORD, kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on this place that everyone who hears about it will shudderH559H8085H1697H3068H4428H3063H3427H3389H559H3068H6635H430H3478H935H7451H4725H8085H241H6750 4because they have abandoned Me and made this a foreign place. They have burned incense in it to other gods that they, their fathers, and the kings of Judah have never known. They have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.H5800H5234H4725H6999H312H430H1H3045H4428H3063H4390H4725H1818H5355 5They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, something I have never commanded or mentioned; I never entertained the thought.H1129H1116H1168H8313H1121H784H5930H1168H6680H1696H5927H3820 6"Therefore, take note! The days are coming"— [this is] the LORD's declaration— "when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.H3117H935H5002H3068H4725H7121H8612H1516H1121H2011H1516H2028 7I will spoil the plans of Judah and Jerusalem in this place. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, by the hand of those who want to take their life. I will provide their corpses as food for the birds of the sky and for the wild animals of the land.H1238H6098H3063H3389H4725H5307H2719H6440H341H3027H1245H5315H5038H5414H3978H5775H8064H929H776 8I will make this city desolate, an object of scorn. Everyone who passes by it will be horrified and scoff because of all its wounds.H7760H5892H8047H8322H5674H8074H8319H4347 9I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and their daughters, and they will eat each other's flesh in the siege and distress that their enemies, those who want to take their life, inflict on them.H398H1320H1121H1320H1323H398H376H1320H7453H4692H4689H341H1245H5315H6693 10"Then you are to shatter the jug in the presence of the people traveling with you,H7665H1228H5869H582H1980 11and you are to proclaim to them: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: I will shatter these people and this city, like one shatters a potter's jar that can never again be mended. They will bury in Topheth until there is no place left to bury.H559H559H3068H6635H3602H7665H5971H5892H7665H3335H3627H3201H7495H6912H8612H4725H6912 12I will do so to this place"— [this is] the declaration of the LORD— "and to its residents, making this city like Topheth.H6213H4725H5002H3068H3427H5414H5892H8612 13The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will become impure like that place Topheth— all the houses on whose rooftops they have burned incense to the whole heavenly host and poured out drink offerings to other gods."H1004H3389H1004H4428H3063H2931H4725H8612H1004H1406H6999H6635H8064H5258H5262H312H430 14Jeremiah came back from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, stood in the courtyard of the LORD's temple, and proclaimed to all the people,H935H3414H8612H3068H7971H5012H5975H2691H3068H1004H559H5971 15"This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'I am about to bring on this city— and on all its [dependent] villages— all the disaster that I spoke against it, for they have become obstinate, not obeying My words.'"H559H3068H6635H430H3478H935H5892H5892H7451H1696H7185H6203H8085H1697
