Jeremiah 31:38-40

Contemporary English Version

Jerusalem Will Be Rebuilt

³⁸The Lord said:

Someday, Jerusalem will truly belong to me. It will be rebuilt with a boundary line running from Hananel Tower to Corner Gate. ³⁹From there, the boundary will go in a straight line to Gareb Hill, then turn toward Goah. ⁴⁰Even that disgusting Hinnom Valley^[a] will be sacred to me, and so will the eastern slopes that go down from Horse Gate into Kidron Valley. Jerusalem will never again be destroyed.

31.40 that disgusting Hinnom Valley: The Hebrew text has “the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the fatty ashes,” which probably refers to Hinnom Valley, just southwest of Jerusalem, where human sacrifices had been offered to foreign gods.
