Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, that they didn`t know, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
5
and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal; which I didn`t command, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:
6
therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter.
7
I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
8
I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues of it.
9
I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them.
