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.’ ”

[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 .

Young’s Literal Translation

Jeremiah 19 (YLT)

[1] Thus said Jehovah, ‘Go, and thou hast got a potter’s earthen vessel, and of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests,
[2] and thou hast gone forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, that is at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and hast proclaimed there the words that I speak unto thee,
[3] and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: ‘Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of every one who is hearing it do tingle,
[4] because that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make perfume in it to other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place with innocent blood,
[5] and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Baal, that I commanded not, nor spake of, nor did it come up on My heart.
[6] ‘Therefore, lo, days are coming-an affirmation of Jehovah-and this place is not called any more, Tophet, and Valley of the son of Hinnom, but, Valley of slaughter.
[7] And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcase for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth,
[8] and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, every passer by it is astonished, and doth hiss for all its plagues.
[9] And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and each the flesh of his friend they do eat, in the siege and in the straitness with which straiten them do their enemies, and those seeking their life.
[10] ‘And thou hast broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with thee,
[11] and hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Thus do I break this people and this city, as one breaketh the potter’s vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury-without place to bury;
[12] so I do to this place-an affirmation of Jehovah-and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
[13] and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, have been-as the place of Tophet-defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made perfume to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to other gods.’
[14] And Jeremiah cometh in from Tophet, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he standeth in the court of the house of Jehovah, and he saith unto all the people:
[15] ‘Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto this city, and on all its cities, all the evil that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck-not to hear My words!’
