Jeremiah:7:30-8
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
For the sons of Judah have done evil in my sight ,
says the LORD ;
they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name ,
to defile it .
*
And they have built the high place of Topheth ,
which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom ,
to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire ;
which I did not command ,
nor did it come into my mind .
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the days are coming ,
says the LORD ,
when it will no more be called Topheth ,
or the valley of the son of Hinnom ,
but the valley of Slaughter :
for they will bury in Topheth ,
because there is no room elsewhere .
*
And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air ,
and for the beasts of the earth ;
and none will frighten them away .
*
And I will make to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness ,
the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride ;
for the land shall become a waste .
