Jeremiah 19:11-13
GOD’S WORD Translation
11 Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of Armies says: I will smash these people and this city as this potter’s jar was smashed beyond repair. They will bury ⌞the dead⌟ in Topheth until there’s no other place to bury them. 12 That’s what I will do to this place and to those who live in it, declares the Lord. I will make this city like Topheth. 13 The houses in Jerusalem, the houses of the kings of Judah, and all the rooftops of the houses will be unclean [a] like this city Topheth. This is because people burned incense to the entire army of heaven and poured out wine offerings to other gods.’ ”

Jeremiah 19:11-13
New International Version
11 and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I will smash(A) this nation and this city just as this potter’s jar is smashed and cannot be repaired. They will bury(B) the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. 12 This is what I will do to this place and to those who live here, declares the Lord. I will make this city like Topheth. 13 The houses(C) in Jerusalem and those of the kings of Judah will be defiled(D) like this place, Topheth—all the houses where they burned incense on the roofs(E) to all the starry hosts(F) and poured out drink offerings(G) to other gods.’”
