^5 (A)and have built the high places of Baal ^(B)to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, ^(C)which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind—

³⁵ They built the high places of Baal ^(A)in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, ^(B)to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, ^(C)though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do ^(D)this abomination, ^(E)to cause Judah to sin.

^31 (A)You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every ^(B)abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for ^(C)they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

²¹ You shall not give any of your children to ^(A)offer them^[a] to ^(B)Molech, and so ^(C)profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

^20 (A)And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and ^(B)these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a matter ²¹ that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them?

³¹ And they have built the high places of ^(A)Topheth, which is in ^(B)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, ^(C)to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, ^(D)which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind. ^32 (E)Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it will no more be called ^(F)Topheth, or ^(G)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; ^(H)for they will bury in Topheth, because there is no room elsewhere.

^17 (A)And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings^[a] and used ^(B)divination and ^(C)omens and ^(D)sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.

²⁹ To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be after this, ^(A)and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be.
