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;

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,

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.

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;

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:

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.

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.
