New International Version Help
19This is what the LORD says: "Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take along some of the elders of the people and of the priestsH559H3068H1980H7069H3335H2789H1228H2205H5971H2205H3548 2and go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. There proclaim the words I tell you,H3318H1516H1121H2011H6607H2777H8179H7121H1697H1696 3and say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle.H559H8085H1697H3068H4428H3063H3427H3389H559H3068H6635H430H3478H935H7451H4725H8085H241H6750 4For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods; they have burned sacrifices in it to gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.H5800H5234H4725H6999H312H430H1H3045H4428H3063H4390H4725H1818H5355 5They have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind.H1129H1116H1168H8313H1121H784H5930H1168H6680H1696H5927H3820 6So beware, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when people will no longer call this place Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.H3117H935H5002H3068H4725H7121H8612H1516H1121H2011H1516H2028 7"'In this place I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, at the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.H1238H6098H3063H3389H4725H5307H2719H6440H341H3027H1245H5315H5038H5414H3978H5775H8064H929H776 8I will devastate this city and make it an object of scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds.H7760H5892H8047H8322H5674H8074H8319H4347 9I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives.'H398H1320H1121H1320H1323H398H376H1320H7453H4692H4689H341H1245H5315H6693 10"Then break the jar while those who go with you are watching,H7665H1228H5869H582H1980 11and say to them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty says: I will smash this nation and this city just as this potter's jar is smashed and cannot be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.H559H559H3068H6635H3602H7665H5971H5892H7665H3335H3627H3201H7495H6912H8612H4725H6912 12This is what I will do to this place and to those who live here, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.H6213H4725H5002H3068H3427H5414H5892H8612 13The houses in Jerusalem and those of the kings of Judah will be defiled like this place, Topheth—all the houses where they burned incense on the roofs to all the starry hosts and poured out drink offerings to other gods.'"H1004H3389H1004H4428H3063H2931H4725H8612H1004H1406H6999H6635H8064H5258H5262H312H430 14Jeremiah then returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and stood in the court of the LORD'S temple and said to all the people,H935H3414H8612H3068H7971H5012H5975H2691H3068H1004H559H5971 15"This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on this city and the villages around it every disaster I pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not listen to my words.'"H559H3068H6635H430H3478H935H5892H5892H7451H1696H7185H6203H8085H1697
