1 Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earth­en bot­tle, and take of the an­cients of the peo­ple, and of the an­cients of the priests; 2 And go forth unto the val­ley of the son of Hin­nom, which is by the en­try of the east gate, and pro­claim there the words that I shall tell thee, 3 And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Ju­dah, and in­hab­i­tants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Is­rael; Be­hold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whoso­ev­er heareth, his ears shall tin­gle. 4 Be­cause they have for­sak­en me, and have es­tranged this place, and have burned in­cense in it unto oth­er gods, whom nei­ther they nor their fa­thers have known, nor the kings of Ju­dah, and have filled this place with the blood of in­no­cents; 5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt of­fer­ings unto Baal, which I com­mand­ed not, nor spake it, nei­ther came it into my mind: 6 There­fore, be­hold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The val­ley of the son of Hin­nom, but The val­ley of slaugh­ter. 7 And 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 hands of them that seek their lives: and their car­cas­es will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heav­en, and for the beasts of the earth. 8 And I will make this city des­o­late, and an hiss­ing; ev­ery one that pas­seth there­by shall be as­ton­ished and hiss be­cause of all the plagues there­of. 9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daugh­ters, and they shall eat ev­ery one the flesh of his friend in the siege and strait­ness, where­with their en­e­mies, and they that seek their lives, shall strait­en them. 10 Then shalt thou break the bot­tle in the sight of the men that go with thee, 11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this peo­ple and this city, as one breaketh a potter's ves­sel, that can­not be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury. 12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the in­hab­i­tants there­of, and even make this city as Tophet: 13 And the hous­es of Jerusalem, and the hous­es of the kings of Ju­dah, shall be de­filed as the place of Tophet, be­cause of all the hous­es upon whose roofs they have burned in­cense unto all the host of heav­en, and have poured out drink of­fer­ings unto oth­er gods. 14 Then came Jeremi­ah from Tophet, whith­er 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 saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Is­rael; Be­hold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pro­nounced against it, be­cause they have hard­ened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
