Jeremiah 7:30-32
Holman Christian Standard Bible
30 “For the Judeans have done what is evil in My sight.” This is the Lord’s declaration. “They have set up their detestable things(A) in the house that is called by My name and defiled it.(B) 31 They have built the high places of Topheth[a](C) in the Valley of Hinnom[b](D) in order to burn their sons and daughters in the fire,(E) a thing I did not command; I never entertained the thought.[c]
32 “Therefore, take note! Days are coming”(F)—the Lord’s declaration—“when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.(G) Topheth will become a cemetery,[d] because there will be no other burial place.

New International Version
The Valley of Slaughter
30 “‘The people of Judah have done evil(A) in my eyes, declares the Lord. They have set up their detestable idols(B) in the house that bears my Name and have defiled(C) it. 31 They have built the high places of Topheth(D) in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(E) to burn their sons and daughters(F) in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.(G) 32 So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter,(H) for they will bury(I) the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
