Jeremiah 7:31-34

English Standard Version

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. ^33 (I)And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, ^(J)and none will frighten them away. ^34 (K)And I will silence in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, ^(L)for the land shall become a waste.
