New International Version
The Valley of Slaughter
30 “‘The people of Judah have done evil(A) in my eyes, declares the Lord. They have set up their detestable idols(B) in the house that bears my Name and have defiled(C) it. 31 They have built the high places of Topheth(D) in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(E) to burn their sons and daughters(F) in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.(G) 32 So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter,(H) for they will bury(I) the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. 33 Then the carcasses(J) of this people will become food(K) for the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away.(L) 34 I will bring an end to the sounds(M) of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom(N) in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem,(O) for the land will become desolate.(P)

New American Standard Bible
30 For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight,” declares the Lord. “They have (A)put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 31 They have (B)built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, to (C)burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I (D)did not command, and it did not come into My [a]mind.
32 “(E)Therefore, behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be called Topheth, or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of the Slaughter; for they will (F)bury in Topheth [b]because there is no other place. 33 The (G)dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth; and no one will frighten them away. 34 Then I will (H)eliminate from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride; for the (I)land will become a site of ruins.
