Jeremiah 19:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 The LORD told Jeremiah, "Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take with you some of the leaders of the people and some of the leaders of the priests.
2 Go out to the part of the Hinnom Valley which is near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Announce there what I tell you.
3 Say, 'Listen to what the LORD says, you kings of Judah and citizens of Jerusalem! The LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, "I will bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it ring!
4 I will do so because these people have rejected me and have defiled this place. They have offered sacrifices in it to other gods which neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah knew anything about. They have filled it with the blood of innocent children.
5 They have built places here for worship of the god Baal so that they could sacrifice their children as burnt offerings to him in the fire. Such sacrifices are something I never commanded them to make! They are something I never told them to do! Indeed, such a thing never even entered my mind!
6 So I, the LORD, say: "The time will soon come that people will no longer call this place Topheth or the Hinnom Valley. But they will call this valley the Valley of Slaughter!
7 In this place I will thwart the plans of the people of Judah and Jerusalem. I will deliver them over to the power of their enemies who are seeking to kill them. They will die by the sword at the hands of their enemies. I will make their dead bodies food for the birds and wild beasts to eat.
8 I will make this city an object of horror, a thing to be hissed at. All who pass by it will be filled with horror and will hiss out their scorn because of all the disasters that have happened to it.
9 I will reduce the people of this city to desperate straits during the siege imposed on it by their enemies who are seeking to kill them. I will make them so desperate that they will eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters and the flesh of one another."'"
10 The LORD continued, "Now break the jar in front of those who have come here with you.
11 Tell them the LORD who rules over all says, 'I will do just as Jeremiah has done. I will smash this nation and this city as though it were a potter's vessel which is broken beyond repair. The dead will be buried here in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.'
12 I, the LORD, say: 'That is how I will deal with this city and its citizens. I will make it like Topheth.
13 The houses in Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be defiled by dead bodies just like this place, Topheth. For they offered sacrifice to the stars and poured out drink offerings to other gods on the roofs of those houses.'"
14 Then Jeremiah left Topheth where the LORD had sent him to give that prophecy. He went to the LORD's temple and stood in its courtyard and called out to all the people.
15 "The LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, 'I will soon bring on this city and all the towns surrounding it all the disaster I threatened to do to it. I will do so because they have stubbornly refused to pay any attention to what I have said!'"
1 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Go H1980 and get H7069 a potter's H3335 earthen H2789 bottle, H1228 and take of the ancients H4480 H2205 of the people, H5971 and of the ancients H4480 H2205 of the priests; H3548
2 And go forth H3318 unto H413 the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom, H2011 which H834 is by the entry H6607 of the east H2777 gate, H8179 and proclaim H7121 there H8033 H853 the words H1697 that H834 I shall tell H1696 H413 thee,
3 And say, H559 Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 O kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 and inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem; H3389 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, H2009 I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon H5921 this H2088 place, H4725 the which H834 whosoever H3605 heareth, H8085 his ears H241 shall tingle. H6750
4 Because H3282 H834 they have forsaken H5800 me , and have estranged H5234 H853 this H2088 place, H4725 and have burned incense H6999 in it unto other H312 gods, H430 whom H834 neither H3808 they H1992 nor their fathers H1 have known, H3045 nor the kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 and have filled H4390 H853 this H2088 place H4725 with the blood H1818 of innocents; H5355
5 They have built H1129 also H853 the high places H1116 of Baal, H1168 to burn H8313 H853 their sons H1121 with fire H784 for burnt offerings H5930 unto Baal, H1168 which H834 I commanded H6680 not, H3808 nor H3808 spoke H1696 it , neither H3808 came H5927 it into H5921 my mind: H3820
6 Therefore H3651 , behold, H2009 the days H3117 come, H935 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 that this H2088 place H4725 shall no H3808 more H5750 be called H7121 Tophet, H8612 nor The valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom, H2011 but H3588 H518 The valley H1516 of slaughter. H2028
7 And I will make void H1238 H853 the counsel H6098 of Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 in this H2088 place; H4725 and I will cause them to fall H5307 by the sword H2719 before H6440 their enemies, H341 and by the hands H3027 of them that seek H1245 their lives: H5315 and H853 their carcasses H5038 will I give H5414 to be meat H3978 for the fowls H5775 of the heaven, H8064 and for the beasts H929 of the earth. H776
8 And I will make H7760 H853 this H2063 city H5892 desolate, H8047 and a hissing; H8322 every one H3605 that passeth H5674 thereby H5921 shall be astonished H8074 and hiss H8319 because H5921 of all H3605 the plagues H4347 thereof.
9 And I will cause them to eat H398 H853 the flesh H1320 of their sons H1121 and the flesh H1320 of their daughters, H1323 and they shall eat H398 every one H376 the flesh H1320 of his friend H7453 in the siege H4692 and straitness, H4689 wherewith H834 their enemies, H341 and they that seek H1245 their lives, H5315 shall straiten H6693 them.
10 Then shalt thou break H7665 the bottle H1228 in the sight H5869 of the men H376 that go H1980 with H854 thee,
11 And shalt say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts; H6635 Even so H3602 will I break H7665 H853 this H2088 people H5971 and this H2063 city, H5892 as H834 one breaketh H7665 H853 a potter's H3335 vessel, H3627 that H834 cannot H3201 H3808 be made whole H7495 again: H5750 and they shall bury H6912 them in Tophet, H8612 till there be no H4480 H369 place H4725 to bury. H6912
12 Thus H3651 will I do H6213 unto this H2088 place, H4725 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 and to the inhabitants H3427 thereof , and even make H5414 H853 this H2063 city H5892 as Tophet: H8612
13 And the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and the houses H1004 of the kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 shall be H1961 defiled H2931 as the place H4725 of Tophet, H8612 because of all H3605 the houses H1004 upon H5921 whose H834 roofs H1406 they have burned incense H6999 unto all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven, H8064 and have poured out H5258 drink offerings H5262 unto other H312 gods. H430
14 Then came H935 Jeremiah H3414 from Tophet H4480 H8612 , whither H834 H8033 the LORD H3068 had sent H7971 him to prophesy; H5012 and he stood H5975 in the court H2691 of the LORD's H3068 house; H1004 and said H559 to H413 all H3605 the people, H5971
15 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, H2009 I will bring H935 upon H413 this H2063 city H5892 and upon H5921 all H3605 her towns H5892 H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 that H834 I have pronounced H1696 against H5921 it, because H3588 they have hardened H7185 H853 their necks, H6203 that they might not H1115 hear H8085 H853 my words. H1697
