Jeremiah 19:5-7
New King James Version
5 (A)(they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, (B)which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind), 6 therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that this place shall no more be called Tophet or (C)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, (D)and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hands of those who seek their lives; their (E)corpses I will give as meat for the birds 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.
