Jeremiah 7:31-33 New English Translation (NET Bible)31 They have also built places of worship[a] in a place called Topheth[b] in the Valley of Ben Hinnom so that they can sacrifice their sons and daughters by fire. That is something I never commanded them to do! Indeed, it never even entered my mind to command such a thing![c] 32 So, watch out!”[d] says the Lord. “The time will soon come when people will no longer call those places Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom. But they will call that valley[e] the Valley of Slaughter, and they will bury so many people in Topheth they will run out of room.[f] 33 Then the dead bodies of these people will be left on the ground for the birds and wild animals to eat.[g] There will not be any survivors to scare them away.
