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.

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