Jeremiah 7:29-31
1599 Geneva Bible
29 Cut off thine [a]hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a complaint on the high places: for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his [b]wrath.
30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house, whereupon my Name is called to pollute it.
31 And they have built the high place of [c]Tophet, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I [d]commanded them not, neither came it in mine heart.
