24:019:004 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;

24:019:005 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: 

24:019:006 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.

24:019:007 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.

24:019:008 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.

24:019:009 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.

24:019:010 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that
           go with thee,

24:019:011 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.

24:019:012 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the lord, and to the
           inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet: 

24:019:013 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.

24:019:014 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,

24:019:015 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.
