Jeremiah 19:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 and they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their children in the fire, burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, and I ordered not, and it did not come to my mind.[a]
6 “Therefore[b] look, days are about to come,” declares[c] Yahweh, “when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but[d] the Valley of the Slaughter. 7 And I will lay waste the plans[e] of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will bring them to ruin by the sword before[f] their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life, and I will give their dead bodies[g] as food to the birds[h] of heaven and to the animals[i] of the earth.
