Jeremiah 19:5-7
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 and have built high places unto Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto this same Baal, which I did not command, nor speak, neither did it come into my mind.
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, said the LORD, that this place shall no longer be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of the slaughter.
7 And 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 hands of those that seek their souls and I will give their carcasses to be food for the fowls of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth.

Jeremiah 19:5-7
New International Version
5 They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children(A) in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind.(B) 6 So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call this place Topheth(C) or the Valley of Ben Hinnom,(D) but the Valley of Slaughter.(E)
7 “‘In this place I will ruin[a] the plans(F) of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies,(G) at the hands of those who want to kill them, and I will give their carcasses(H) as food(I) to the birds and the wild animals.

- Jeremiah 19:7 The Hebrew for ruin sounds like the Hebrew for jar (see verses 1 and 10).
