[1] Thus said Yahweh, “Go, and buy a potter’s earthen container, and take some of the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests; [2] and go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I will tell you. [3] Say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will tingle. [4] Because they have forsaken me, and have defiled this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods that they didn’t know—they, their fathers, and the kings of Judah—and have filled this place with the blood of innocents, [5] and have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I didn’t command, nor speak, which didn’t even enter into my mind. [6] Therefore, behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that this place will no more be called ‘Topheth’, nor ‘The Valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’. [7] “ ‘ “I will make the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem void in this place. I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth. [8] I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues. [9] I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. They will each eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, will distress them.” ’ [10] “Then you shall break the container in the sight of the men who go with you, [11] and shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “Even so I will break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that can’t be made whole again. They will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury. [12] This is what I will do to this place,” says Yahweh, “and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth. [13] The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, will be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the army of the sky and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.” ’ ” [14] Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of Yahweh’s house, and said to all the people: [15] “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’ ”

Broken Pottery
[1] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord, H3068 Go H1980 (QalInf) and get H7069 (QalPerf) a potter’s H3335 (QalActPtc) earthen H2789 bottle, H1228 and take of the ancients H2205 of the people, H5971 and of the ancients H2205 of the priests; H3548 [2] and go forth H3318 (QalPerf) unto the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom, H2011 which is by the entry H6607 of the east H2777 gate, H8179§ and proclaim H7121 (QalPerf) there the words H1697 that I shall tell H1696 (PielImpf) thee, [3] and say, H559 (QalPerf) Hear H8085 (QalImpv) ye the word H1697 of the Lord, H3068 O kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 and inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Jerusalem; H3389 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, I will bring H935 (HiphPtc) evil H7451 upon this place, H4725 the which whosoever heareth, H8085 (QalActPtc) his ears H241 shall tingle. H6750 (QalImpf) [4] Because they have forsaken H5800 (QalPerf) me, and have estranged H5234 (PielImpf) this place, H4725 and have burned incense H6999 (PielImpf) in it unto other H312 gods, H430 whom neither they nor their fathers H1 have known, H3045 (QalPerf) nor the kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 and have filled H4390 (QalPerf) this place H4725 with the blood H1818 of innocents; H5355 [5] they have built H1129 (QalPerf) also the high places H1116 of Baal, H1168 to burn H8313 (QalInf) their sons H1121 with fire H784 for burnt offerings H5930 unto Baal, H1168 which I commanded H6680 (PielPerf) not, nor spake H1696 (PielPerf) it, neither came H5927 (QalPerf) it into my mind: H3820 [6] therefore, behold, the days H3117 come, H935 (QalActPtc) saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord, H3068 that this place H4725 shall no more be called H7121 (NiphImpf) Tophet, H8612 nor The valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom, H2011 but The valley H1516 of slaughter. H2028 [7] And I will make void H1238 (QalPerf) the counsel H6098 of Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 in this place; H4725 and I will cause them to fall H5307 (HiphPerf) by the sword H2719 before H6440 their enemies, H341 (QalActPtc) and by the hands H3027 of them that seek H1245 (PielPtc) their lives: H5315 and their carcases H5038 will I give H5414 (QalPerf) to be meat H3978 for the fowls H5775 of the heaven, H8064 and for the beasts H929 of the earth. H776 [8] And I will make H7760 (QalPerf) this city H5892 desolate, H8047 and an hissing; H8322 every one that passeth H5674 (QalActPtc) thereby shall be astonished H8074 (QalImpf) and hiss H8319 (QalImpf) because of all the plagues H4347 thereof. [9] And I will cause them to eat H398 (HiphPerf) the flesh H1320 of their sons H1121 and the flesh H1320 of their daughters, H1323 and they shall eat H398 (QalImpf) every one H376 the flesh H1320 of his friend H7453 in the siege H4692 and straitness, H4689 wherewith their enemies, H341 (QalActPtc) and they that seek H1245 (PielPtc) their lives, H5315 shall straiten H6693 (HiphImpf) them. [10] Then shalt thou break H7665 (QalPerf) the bottle H1228 in the sight H5869 of the men H582 that go H1980 (QalActPtc) with thee, [11] and shalt say H559 (QalPerf) unto them, Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts; H6635 Even so H3602 will I break H7665 (QalImpf) this people H5971 and this city, H5892 as one breaketh H7665 (QalImpf) a potter’s H3335 (QalActPtc) vessel, H3627 that cannot H3201 (QalImpf) be made whole§ again: H7495 (NiphInf) and they shall bury H6912 (QalImpf) them in Tophet, H8612 till there be no place H4725 to bury. H6912 (QalInf) [12] Thus will I do H6213 (QalImpf) unto this place, H4725 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord, H3068 and to the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) thereof, and even make H5414 (QalInf) this city H5892 as Tophet: H8612 [13] and the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and the houses H1004 of the kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 shall be defiled H2931 as the place H4725 of Tophet, H8612 because of all the houses H1004 upon whose roofs H1406 they have burned incense H6999 (PielPerf) unto all the host H6635 of heaven, H8064 and have poured out H5258 (HiphInf) drink offerings H5262 unto other H312 gods. H430 [14] Then came H935 (QalImpf) Jeremiah H3414 from Tophet, H8612 whither the Lord H3068 had sent H7971 (QalPerf) him to prophesy; H5012 (NiphInf) and he stood H5975 (QalImpf) in the court H2691 of the Lord’s H3068 house; H1004 and said H559 (QalImpf) to all the people, H5971 [15] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, I will bring H935 (HiphPtc) upon this city H5892 and upon all her towns H5892 all the evil H7451 that I have pronounced H1696 (PielPerf) against it, because they have hardened H7185 (HiphPerf) their necks, H6203 that they might not hear H8085 (QalInf) my words.
