Jeremiah 19 (WEBP)

[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.’”

Jeremiah 19 (KJVS)

[1] Thus saith () the Lord, Go () and get () a potter’s () earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
[2] and go forth () unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim () there the words that I shall tell () thee,
[3] and say, () Hear () ye the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants () of Jerusalem; Thus saith () the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring () evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, () his ears shall tingle. ()
[4] Because they have forsaken () me, and have estranged () this place, and have burned incense () in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, () nor the kings of Judah, and have filled () this place with the blood of innocents;
[5] they have built () also the high places of Baal, to burn () their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded () not, nor spake () it, neither came () it into my mind:
[6] therefore, behold, the days come, () saith () the Lord, that this place shall no more be called () Tophet, nor 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; and I will cause them to fall () by the sword before their enemies, () and by the hands of them that seek () their lives: and their carcases will I give () to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
[8] And I will make () this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth () thereby shall be astonished () and hiss () because of all the plagues thereof.
[9] And I will cause them to eat () the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat () every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, () and they that seek () their lives, shall straiten () them.
[10] Then shalt thou break () the bottle in the sight of the men that go () with thee,
[11] and shalt say () unto them, Thus saith () the Lord of hosts; Even so will I break () this people and this city, as one breaketh () a potter’s () vessel, that cannot () be made whole again: () and they shall bury () them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury. ()
[12] Thus will I do () unto this place, saith () the Lord, and to the inhabitants () thereof, and even make () this city as Tophet:
[13] and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense () unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out () drink offerings unto other gods.
[14] Then came () Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the Lord had sent () him to prophesy; () and he stood () in the court of the Lord’s house; and said () to all the people,
[15] Thus saith () the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring () upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced () against it, because they have hardened () their necks, that they might not hear () my words.

Jeremiah 19 (BYZ)

[1] τοτε ειπεν κυριος προς με βαδισον και κτησαι βικον πεπλασμενον οστρακινον και αξεις απο των πρεσβυτερων του λαου και απο των πρεσβυτερων των ιερεων
[2] και εξελευση εις το πολυανδριον υιων των τεκνων αυτων ο εστιν επι των προθυρων πυλης της χαρσιθ και αναγνωθι εκει παντας τους λογους ους αν λαλησω προς σε
[3] και ερεις αυτοις ακουσατε τον λογον κυριου βασιλεις ιουδα και ανδρες ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ και οι εισπορευομενοι εν ταις πυλαις ταυταις ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ιδου εγω επαγω επι τον τοπον τουτον κακα ωστε παντος ακουοντος αυτα ηχησει αμφοτερα τα ωτα αυτου
[4] ανθ ων εγκατελιπον με και απηλλοτριωσαν τον τοπον τουτον και εθυμιασαν εν αυτω θεοις αλλοτριοις οις ουκ ηδεισαν αυτοι και οι πατερες αυτων και οι βασιλεις ιουδα επλησαν τον τοπον τουτον αιματων αθωων
[5] και ωκοδομησαν υψηλα τη βααλ του κατακαιειν τους υιους αυτων εν πυρι α ουκ ενετειλαμην ουδε ελαλησα ουδε διενοηθην εν τη καρδια μου
[6] δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και ου κληθησεται τω τοπω τουτω ετι διαπτωσις και πολυανδριον υιου εννομ αλλ η πολυανδριον της σφαγης
[7] και σφαξω την βουλην ιουδα και την βουλην ιερουσαλημ εν τω τοπω τουτω και καταβαλω αυτους εν μαχαιρα εναντιον των εχθρων αυτων και εν χερσιν των ζητουντων τας ψυχας αυτων και δωσω τους νεκρους αυτων εις βρωσιν τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου και τοις θηριοις της γης
[8] και ταξω την πολιν ταυτην εις αφανισμον και εις συριγμον πας ο παραπορευομενος επ αυτης σκυθρωπασει και συριει υπερ πασης της πληγης αυτης
[9] και εδονται τας σαρκας των υιων αυτων και τας σαρκας των θυγατερων αυτων και εκαστος τας σαρκας του πλησιον αυτου εδονται εν τη περιοχη και εν τη πολιορκια η πολιορκησουσιν αυτους οι εχθροι αυτων
[10] και συντριψεις τον βικον κατ οφθαλμους των ανδρων των εκπορευομενων μετα σου
[11] και ερεις ταδε λεγει κυριος ουτως συντριψω τον λαον τουτον και την πολιν ταυτην καθως συντριβεται αγγος οστρακινον ο ου δυνησεται ιαθηναι ετι
[12] ουτως ποιησω λεγει κυριος τω τοπω τουτω και τοις κατοικουσιν εν αυτω του δοθηναι την πολιν ταυτην ως την διαπιπτουσαν
[13] και οι οικοι ιερουσαλημ και οι οικοι βασιλεων ιουδα εσονται καθως ο τοπος ο διαπιπτων των ακαθαρσιων εν πασαις ταις οικιαις εν αις εθυμιασαν επι των δωματων αυτων παση τη στρατια του ουρανου και εσπεισαν σπονδας θεοις αλλοτριοις
[14] και ηλθεν ιερεμιας απο της διαπτωσεως ου απεστειλεν αυτον κυριος εκει του προφητευσαι και εστη εν τη αυλη οικου κυριου και ειπε προς παντα τον λαον
[15] ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω επαγω επι την πολιν ταυτην και επι πασας τας πολεις αυτης και επι τας κωμας αυτης απαντα τα κακα α ελαλησα επ αυτην οτι εσκληρυναν τον τραχηλον αυτων του μη εισακουειν των λογων μου
