19:1 Thus
says
the
LORD,
"Go,
buy
a
potter's
earthenware
flask,
and
take
some
of
the
elders
of
the
people
and
some
of
the
elders
of
the
priests,
19:2 and
go
out
to
the
Valley
of
the
Son
of
Hinnom
at
the
entry
of
the
Potsherd
Gate,
and
proclaim
there
the
words
that
I
tell
you.
19:3 You
shall
say,
'Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
kings
of
Judah
and
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
Thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
am
bringing
such
disaster
upon
this
place
that
the
ears
of
everyone
who
hears
of
it
will
tingle.
19:4 Because
the
people
have
forsaken
me
and
have
profaned
this
place
by
making
offerings
in
it
to
other
gods
whom
neither
they
nor
their
fathers
nor
the
kings
of
Judah
have
known;
and
because
they
have
filled
this
place
with
the
blood
of
innocents,
19:5 and
have
built
the
high
places
of
Baal
to
burn
their
sons
in
the
fire
as
burnt
offerings
to
Baal,
which
I
did
not
command
or
decree,
nor
did
it
come
into
my
mind--
19:6 therefore,
behold,
days
are
coming,
declares
the
LORD,
when
this
place
shall
no
more
be
called
Topheth,
or
the
Valley
of
the
Son
of
Hinnom,
but
the
Valley
of
Slaughter.
19:7 And
in
this
place
I
will
make
void
the
plans
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
and
will
cause
their
people
to
fall
by
the
sword
before
their
enemies,
and
by
the
hand
of
those
who
seek
their
life.
I
will
give
their
dead
bodies
for
food
to
the
birds
of
the
air
and
to
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
19:8 And
I
will
make
this
city
a
horror,
a
thing
to
be
hissed
at.
Everyone
who
passes
by
it
will
be
horrified
and
will
hiss
because
of
all
its
wounds.
19:9 And
I
will
make
them
eat
the
flesh
of
their
sons
and
their
daughters,
and
everyone
shall
eat
the
flesh
of
his
neighbor
in
the
siege
and
in
the
distress,
with
which
their
enemies
and
those
who
seek
their
life
afflict
them.'
19:10 "Then
you
shall
break
the
flask
in
the
sight
of
the
men
who
go
with
you,
19:11 and
shall
say
to
them,
'Thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts:
So
will
I
break
this
people
and
this
city,
as
one
breaks
a
potter's
vessel,
so
that
it
can
never
be
mended.
Men
shall
bury
in
Topheth
because
there
will
be
no
place
else
to
bury.
19:12 Thus
will
I
do
to
this
place,
declares
the
LORD,
and
to
its
inhabitants,
making
this
city
like
Topheth.
19:13 The
houses
of
Jerusalem
and
the
houses
of
the
kings
of
Judah--all
the
houses
on
whose
roofs
offerings
have
been
offered
to
all
the
host
of
heaven,
and
drink
offerings
have
been
poured
out
to
other
gods--shall
be
defiled
like
the
place
of
Topheth.'"
19:14 Then
Jeremiah
came
from
Topheth,
where
the
LORD
had
sent
him
to
prophesy,
and
he
stood
in
the
court
of
the
LORD's
house
and
said
to
all
the
people:
19:15 "Thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
behold,
I
am
bringing
upon
this
city
and
upon
all
its
towns
all
the
disaster
that
I
have
pronounced
against
it,
because
they
have
stiffened
their
neck,
refusing
to
hear
my
words."
