Jeremiah:19:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus saith the LORD ,
Go and get a potters earthen bottle ,
and take of the ancients of the people ,
and of the ancients of the priests ;
*
And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom ,
which is by the entry of the east gate sha #
ar #,
and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee ,
*
And say ,
Hear ye the word of the LORD ,
O kings of Judah ,
and inhabitants of Jerusalem ;
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Behold ,
I will bring evil upon this place ,
the which whosoever heareth ,
his ears shall tingle .
*
Because they have forsaken me ,
and have estranged this place ,
and have burned incense in it unto other gods ,
whom neither they nor their fathers have known ,
nor the kings of Judah ,
and have filled this place with the blood of innocents ;
*
They have built also the high places of Baal Ba #
al #,
to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal Ba #
al #,
which I commanded not ,
nor spake it ,
neither came it into my mind :
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the days come ,
saith the LORD ,
that this place shall no more be called Tophet ,
nor The valley of the son of Hinnom ,
but The valley of slaughter .
*
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place ;
and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies ,
and by the hands of them that seek their lives :
and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven ,
and for the beasts of the earth .
