2

"Then goh3318 out to the  avalleyh1516 of Ben-hinnomh1121h2011, whichh834 is by the entranceh6607 of the potsherdh2777 gateh8179, and  bproclaimh7121 thereh8033 the wordsh1697 that I tellh1696 you,

3

and sayh559, `Hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, O  akingsh4428 of Judahh3063 and inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389: thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Beholdh2009 I am about to bringh935 a  bcalamityh7463a upon thish2088 placeh4725, at whichh834 the  cearsh241 of everyoneh3605 that hearsh8085 of it will tingleh6750.

4

"Becauseh3282h834 they have  aforsakenh5800a Me and have  bmadeh5235a thish2088 an alienh5235a placeh4725 and have burnedh6999  1sacrificesh6999 in it to  cotherh312 godsh430, that neitherh3808 they norh3808 their forefathersh1 norh3808 the kingsh4428 of Judahh3063 had ever knownh3045, and because they have filledh4390 thish2088 placeh4725 with the  dbloodh1818 of the innocenth5355a

5

and have builth1129 the  ahighh1116 placesh1116 of Baalh1168a to burnh8313 their  bsonsh1121 in the fireh784 as burnth5930a offeringsh5930a to Baalh1168a, a thing whichh834 I neverh3808 commandedh6680 or spokeh1696 of, norh3808 did it ever enterh5927 My  1mindh3820;

6

thereforeh3651, beholdh2009,  adaysh3117 are comingh935," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "when thish2088 placeh4725 will noh3808 longerh5750 be calledh7121  bTophethh8612 or  cthe valleyh1516 of Ben-hinnomh1121h2011, but ratherh3588h518 the valleyh1516 of Slaughterh2028.

7

"I will  amakeh1238b voidh1238b the counselh6098 of Judahh3063 and Jerusalemh3389 in thish2088 placeh4725, and  bI will cause them to fallh5307 by the swordh2719 beforeh6440 their enemiesh340 and by the handh3027 of those who seekh1245 their lifeh5315; and I will giveh5414 over their  ccarcassesh5038 as foodh3978 for the birdsh5775 of the skyh8064 and the beastsh929 of the earthh776.

8

"I will also makeh7760 thish384 cityh5892b a  adesolationh8047 and an object of hissingh8322;  beveryoneh3605 who passesh5674a by it will be astonishedh8074 and hissh8319 becauseh5921 of allh3605 its  1disastersh4347.

9

"I will make them  aeath398 the fleshh1320 of their sonsh1121 and the fleshh1320 of their daughtersh1323, and they will eath398 oneh376 another'sh7453 fleshh1320 in the siegeh4692 and in the distressh4689 with whichh834 their enemiesh340 and those who seekh1245 their lifeh5315 will distressh6693 them."'

10

"Then you are to breakh7665 the  ajarh1228 in the sighth5869 of the menh376 who accompanyh1980h854 you

11

and sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "Justh3602 soh3602 will I  abreakh7665 thish2088 peopleh5971a and thish384 cityh5892b, evenh3512c as one breaksh7665 a potter'sh3335 vesselh3627, whichh834 cannoth3201h3808 againh5750 be repairedh7495; and they will  bburyh6912 in Tophethh8612  1becauseh4480 thereh369 is noh369 other placeh4725 for burialh6912.

12

"Thish3651 is howh3651 I will treath6213a thish2088 placeh4725 and its inhabitantsh3427," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "so as to makeh5414 thish384 cityh5892b like Tophethh8612.

13

"The  ahousesh1004 of Jerusalemh3389 and the housesh1004 of the kingsh4428 of Judahh3063 will be  bdefiledh2931 like the placeh4725 Tophethh8612, because of allh3605 the  chousesh1004 on whoseh834 rooftopsh1406 they burnedh6999  1sacrificesh6999 to  dallh3605 the heavenlyh8064 hosth6635 and  epouredh5258a out drinkh5262a offeringsh5262a to otherh312 godsh430.""'

14

Then Jeremiahh3414 cameh935 from Tophethh8612, whereh834h8033 the LORDh3068 had senth7971 him to prophesyh5012; and he stoodh5975 in the  acourth2691a of the LORD'Sh3068 househ1004 and saidh559 to allh3605 the peopleh5971a:

15

"Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, `Beholdh2009, I am about to bringh935 on thish384 cityh5892b and allh3605 its townsh5892b the entireh3605 calamityh7463a that I have declaredh1696 againsth5921 it, becauseh3588 they have  astiffenedh7185 their necksh6203 so  bas not to heedh8085 My wordsh1697.'
