24:007:021 Thus saith the lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your
           burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

24:007:022 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the
           day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning
           burnt offerings or sacrifices: 

24:007:023 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I
           will be your God, and ye shall be my people:  and walk ye in
           all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well
           unto you.

24:007:024 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in
           the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and
           went backward, and not forward.

24:007:025 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of
           Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants
           the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: 

24:007:026 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but
           hardened their neck:  they did worse than their fathers.

24:007:027 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they
           will not hearken to thee:  thou shalt also call unto them; but
           they will not answer thee.

24:007:028 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth
           not the voice of the lord their God, nor receiveth correction: 
           truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

24:007:029 Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up
           a lamentation on high places; for the lord hath rejected and
           forsaken the generation of his wrath.

24:007:030 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith
           the lord:  they have set their abominations in the house which
           is called by my name, to pollute it.

24:007:031 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the
           valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their
           daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither
           came it into my heart.

24:007:032 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the lord, that it
           shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of
           Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter:  for they shall bury in
           Tophet, till there be no place.

24:007:033 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of
           the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall
           fray them away.

24:007:034 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from
           the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of
           gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the
           bride:  for the land shall be desolate.
