11 and shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, (A)as one breaks a potter's vessel, (B)so that it can never be mended. (C)Men shall bury in Topheth because there will be no place else to bury. 12 Thus will I do to this place, declares the Lord, and to its inhabitants, making this city (D)like Topheth. 13 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah—(E)all the houses on whose (F)roofs offerings have been offered (G)to all the host of heaven, and (H)drink offerings have been poured out to other gods—shall be defiled (I)like the place of Topheth.’”
