Jeremiah 19:1–6

Thus saith the Lord, ^aGo and get ^ba potter’s earthen ^cbottle, and take of ^dthe ancients of the people, and of ^dthe ancients of the priests; ²And go forth unto ^ethe 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, ³And say, ^eeHear ye the word of the Lord, ^fO 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, ^ghis ears shall tingle. ⁴Because ^hthey have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and ^hhave 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 ⁱthe blood of innocents; ^5kThey have built also the high places of Baal, ^lto burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, ^klmwhich I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: ⁶ⁿTherefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called ^yTophet, nor ^eThe valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
