1 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Go <01980> (8800) and get <07069> (8804) a potter's <03335> (8802) earthen <02789> bottle <01228>, and take of the ancients <02205> of the people <05971>, and of the ancients <02205> of the priests <03548>;
2 And go forth <03318> (8804) unto the valley <01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>, which is by the entry <06607> of the east <02777> gate <08179>, and proclaim <07121> (8804) there the words <01697> that I shall tell <01696> (8762) thee,
3 And say <0559> (8804), Hear <08085> (8798) ye the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, O kings <04428> of Judah <03063>, and inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>; Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) evil <07451> upon this place <04725>, the which whosoever heareth <08085> (8802), his ears <0241> shall tingle <06750> (8799).
4 Because they have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and have estranged <05234> (8762) this place <04725>, and have burned incense <06999> (8762) in it unto other <0312> gods <0430>, whom neither they nor their fathers <01> have known <03045> (8804), nor the kings <04428> of Judah <03063>, and have filled <04390> (8804) this place <04725> with the blood <01818> of innocents <05355>;
5 They have built <01129> (8804) also the high places <01116> of Baal <01168>, to burn <08313> (8800) their sons <01121> with fire <0784> for burnt offerings <05930> unto Baal <01168>, which I commanded <06680> (8765) not, nor spake <01696> (8765) it, neither came <05927> (8804) it into my mind <03820>:
6 Therefore, behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that this place <04725> shall no more be called <07121> (8735) Tophet <08612>, nor The valley <01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>, but The valley <01516> of slaughter <02028>.
7 And I will make void <01238> (8804) the counsel <06098> of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389> in this place <04725>; and I will cause them to fall <05307> (8689) by the sword <02719> before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802) , and by the hands <03027> of them that seek <01245> (8764) their lives <05315>: and their carcases <05038> will I give <05414> (8804) to be meat <03978> for the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064>, and for the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>.
8 And I will make <07760> (8804) this city <05892> desolate <08047>, and an hissing <08322>; every one that passeth <05674> (8802) thereby shall be astonished <08074> (8799) and hiss <08319> (8799) because of all the plagues <04347> thereof.
9 And I will cause them to eat <0398> (8689) the flesh <01320> of their sons <01121> and the flesh <01320> of their daughters <01323>, and they shall eat <0398> (8799) every one <0376> the flesh <01320> of his friend <07453> in the siege <04692> and straitness <04689>, wherewith their enemies <0341> (8802), and they that seek <01245> (8764) their lives <05315> , shall straiten <06693> (8686) them.
10 # Then shalt thou break <07665> (8804) the bottle <01228> in the sight <05869> of the men <0582> that go <01980> (8802) with thee,
11 And shalt say <0559> (8804) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> ; Even so <03602> will I break <07665> (8799) this people <05971> and this city <05892>, as one breaketh <07665> (8799) a potter's <03335> (8802) vessel <03627>, that cannot <03201> (8799) be made whole again <07495> (8736) : and they shall bury <06912> (8799) them in Tophet <08612>, till there be no place <04725> to bury <06912> (8800) .
12 Thus will I do <06213> (8799) unto this place <04725>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, and to the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof, and even make <05414> (8800) this city <05892> as Tophet <08612>:
13 And the houses <01004> of Jerusalem <03389>, and the houses <01004> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063>, shall be defiled <02931> as the place <04725> of Tophet <08612>, because of all the houses <01004> upon whose roofs <01406> they have burned incense <06999> (8765) unto all the host <06635> of heaven <08064>, and have poured out <05258> (8687) drink offerings <05262> unto other <0312> gods <0430>.
14 Then came <0935> (8799) Jeremiah <03414> from Tophet <08612>, whither the LORD <03068> had sent <07971> (8804) him to prophesy <05012> (8736); and he stood <05975> (8799) in the court <02691> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>; and said <0559> (8799) to all the people <05971>,
15 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) upon this city <05892> and upon all her towns <05892> all the evil <07451> that I have pronounced <01696> (8765) against it, because they have hardened <07185> (8689) their necks <06203>, that they might not hear <08085> (8800) my words <01697>.
