The Lesson of the Broken Jug

19This is what the Lord says: "Go and buy a potter's clay jug. Take along some of the elders of the people and some of the elders of the priests.H559H3068H1980H7069H3335H2789H1228H2205H5971H2205H3548 2Go out to the Valley of Hinnom at the entrance to the Potsherd Gate, and there proclaim the words that I'm telling you.H3318H1516H1121H2011H6607H2777H8179H7121H1697H1696 3"You are to say, 'Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem! "'This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: "I'm about to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of all who hear about it tingle.H559H8085H1697H3068H4428H3063H3427H3389H559H3068H6635H430H3478H935H7451H4725H8085H241H6750 4For they have forsaken me and have treated this place as foreign. In it they have burned incense to other gods that neither they, their ancestors, nor the kings of Judah knew. They have also filled this place with the blood of innocent people.H5800H5234H4725H6999H312H430H1H3045H4428H3063H4390H4725H1818H5355 5They built the high places for Baal to burn their children in the fire as a burnt offering to Baal - something I didn't command, didn't say, nor did it ever enter my mind!H1129H1116H1168H8313H1121H784H5930H1168H6680H1696H5927H3820 6"Therefore, days are coming," declares the Lord, "when this place will no longer be called Topheth, or the Valley of Hinnom, but rather the Valley of Slaughter.H3117H935H5002H3068H4725H7121H8612H1516H1121H2011H1516H2028 7I'll shatter the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I'll make them fall by the sword before their enemies and at the hands of those seeking their lives. I'll give their dead bodies as food to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the land.H1238H6098H3063H3389H4725H5307H2719H6440H341H3027H1245H5315H5038H5414H3978H5775H8064H929H776 8I'll make this city into a desolate place and an object of scorn. All who pass by it will be astonished and will scoff because of all its wounds.H7760H5892H8047H8322H5674H8074H8319H4347 9I'll cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and people will eat the flesh of their neighbors in the siege and in the distress to which their enemies and those seeking their lives will subject them.H398H1320H1121H1320H1323H398H376H1320H7453H4692H4689H341H1245H5315H6693 10Then you are to break the jug in front of the men who have come with you,H7665H1228H5869H582H1980 11and say to them, 'This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: "In this same way I'll break this people and this city, just as someone breaks a potter's vessel which he then cannot put back together again. They'll bury corpses in Topheth until there is no more room to bury anyone.H559H559H3068H6635H3602H7665H5971H5892H7665H3335H3627H3201H7495H6912H8612H4725H6912 12This is what I'll do to this place and its residents," declares the Lord, "making this city like Topheth.H6213H4725H5002H3068H3427H5414H5892H8612 13The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be polluted like Topheth, as will be all the houses on whose roofs people burned incense to all the host of heaven and poured out liquid offerings to other gods."'"H1004H3389H1004H4428H3063H2931H4725H8612H1004H1406H6999H6635H8064H5258H5262H312H430 14Then Jeremiah went from Topheth where the Lord had sent him to prophesy. He stood in the courtyard of the LORD's temple, saying to all the people,H935H3414H8612H3068H7971H5012H5975H2691H3068H1004H559H5971 15"This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: 'I'm about to bring on this city and all its towns all the disaster that I declared against it because they were determined not to obey my word.'"H559H3068H6635H430H3478H935H5892H5892H7451H1696H7185H6203H8085H1697
