Jeremiah:7:30-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me ,
saith the Lord ;
they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called ,
to defile it .
*
And they have built the altar of Tapheth ,
which is in the valley of the son of Ennom ,
to burn their sons and their daughters with fire ;
which I did not command them to do ,
neither did I design it in my heart .
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the days come ,
saith the Lord ,
when they shall no more say ,
The altar of Tapheth ,
and the valley of the son of Ennom ,
but ,
The valley of the slain ;
and they shall bury in Tapheth ,
for want of room .
*
And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky ,
and to the wild beasts of the earth ;
and there shall be none to drive them away .
*
And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda ,
and the streets of Jerusalem ,
the voice of them that make merry ,
and the voice of them that rejoice ,
the voice of the bridegroom ,
and the voice of the bride ;
for the whole land shall become a desolation .
