4Because 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,
5and 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:
6therefore, 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.
7I 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.
8I 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.
9I 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.
10Then shall you break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with you,
