Jeremiah 7:30-34
International Standard Version
30 “For the people of Judah have done evil in my eyes,” declares the Lord. “They have put their detestable idols[a] in the house that is called by my name in order to defile it. 31 They have built high places at Topheth in the Valley of Ben-hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire. I didn’t command this, and it never entered my mind!
32 “Therefore, the time is near,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. They’ll bury in Topheth because there is no other[b] place to do it.[c] 33 The dead bodies of these people will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the land, and no one will disturb them. 34 In the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem I’ll bring an end to the sound of gladness and rejoicing, to the sounds of the bridegroom and bride, for the land will become a wasteland.”

Lexham English Bible
30 For the people [a] of Judah have done evil in my eyes,” declares[b] Yahweh, “They have set their abominations in the house that is called by my name,[c] to defile it. 31 And they built the high place of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I have not commanded, and it did not come into my mind.[d] 32 Therefore look, days are about to come,” declares[e] Yahweh, “and it will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of the Slaughter, and they will bury in Topheth until there is no more place.[f] 33 And the dead bodies[g] of this people will be as food for the birds[h] of the heavens,[i] and for the animals[j] of the earth, without anyone to scare them[k] away. 34 And I will cause to disappear from the towns of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the sound of jubilation, and the sound of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, for the land will become a site of ruins.
