The Broken Jar

19The LORD told me to go and buy a clay jar. He also told me to take some of the elders of the people and some of the older priests,H559H3068H1980H7069H3335H2789H1228H2205H5971H2205H3548 2and to go through Potsherd Gate out to Hinnom Valley. There I was to proclaim the message that he would give me.H3318H1516H1121H2011H6607H2777H8179H7121H1697H1696 3The LORD told me to say, "Kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem, listen to what I, the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, have to say. I am going to bring such a disaster on this place that everyone who hears about it will be stunned.H559H8085H1697H3068H4428H3063H3427H3389H559H3068H6635H430H3478H935H7451H4725H8085H241H6750 4I am going to do this because the people have abandoned me and defiled this place by offering sacrifices here to other gods - gods that neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah have known anything about. They have filled this place with the blood of innocent people,H5800H5234H4725H6999H312H430H1H3045H4428H3063H4390H4725H1818H5355 5and they have built altars for Baal in order to burn their children in the fire as sacrifices. I never commanded them to do this; it never even entered my mind.H1129H1116H1168H8313H1121H784H5930H1168H6680H1696H5927H3820 6So then, the time will come when this place will no longer be called Topheth or Hinnom Valley. Instead, it will be known as Slaughter Valley.H3117H935H5002H3068H4725H7121H8612H1516H1121H2011H1516H2028 7In this place I will frustrate all the plans of the people of Judah and Jerusalem. I will let their enemies triumph over them and kill them in battle. I will give their corpses to the birds and the wild animals as food.H1238H6098H3063H3389H4725H5307H2719H6440H341H3027H1245H5315H5038H5414H3978H5775H8064H929H776 8I will bring such terrible destruction on this city that everyone who passes by will be shocked and amazed.H7760H5892H8047H8322H5674H8074H8319H4347 9The enemy will surround the city and try to kill its people. The siege will be so terrible that the people inside the city will eat one another and even their own children."H398H1320H1121H1320H1323H398H376H1320H7453H4692H4689H341H1245H5315H6693 10Then the LORD told me to break the jar in front of those who had gone with meH7665H1228H5869H582H1980 11and to tell them that the LORD Almighty had said, "I will break this people and this city, and it will be like this broken clay jar that cannot be put together again. People will bury their dead even in Topheth because there will be nowhere else to bury them.H559H559H3068H6635H3602H7665H5971H5892H7665H3335H3627H3201H7495H6912H8612H4725H6912 12I promise that I will make this city and its inhabitants like Topheth.H6213H4725H5002H3068H3427H5414H5892H8612 13The houses of Jerusalem, the houses of the kings of Judah, and indeed all the houses on whose roofs incense has been burned to the stars and where wine has been poured out as an offering to other gods - they will all be as unclean as Topheth."H1004H3389H1004H4428H3063H2931H4725H8612H1004H1406H6999H6635H8064H5258H5262H312H430 14Then I left Topheth, where the LORD had sent me to proclaim his message. I went and stood in the court of the Temple and told all the peopleH935H3414H8612H3068H7971H5012H5975H2691H3068H1004H559H5971 15that the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, had said, "I am going to bring on this city and on every nearby town all the punishment that I said I would, because you are stubborn and will not listen to what I say."H559H3068H6635H430H3478H935H5892H5892H7451H1696H7185H6203H8085H1697
