⁶ therefore, ^(A)behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when this place shall no more be called Topheth, or ^(B)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.

⁸ Then the boundary goes up by ^(A)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom at the southern shoulder of the Jebusite (^(B)that is, Jerusalem). And the boundary goes up to the top of the mountain that lies over against the Valley of Hinnom, on the west, at the northern end of the Valley ^(C)of Rephaim.

² and go out ^(A)to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom at the entry of the Potsherd Gate, and proclaim there the words that I tell you.

³³ For ^(A)a burning place^[a] has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, ^(B)its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; ^(C)the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.

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.

^32 (A)Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it will no more be called ^(B)Topheth, or ^(C)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; ^(D)for they will bury in Topheth, because there is no room elsewhere. ^33 (E)And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, ^(F)and none will frighten them away.
