Jeremiah 19:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 and have built the (A)high places of Baal to burn their (B)sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, a thing which I never commanded or spoke of, nor did it ever enter My [a]mind; 6 therefore, behold, (C)days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this place will no longer be called (D)Topheth or (E)the valley of Ben-hinnom, but rather the valley of Slaughter. 7 I will (F)make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and (G)I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their life; and I will give over their (H)carcasses as food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth.

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.
