‏ Jeremiah 19:3

3 Say, ‘Listen to the Lord’s message, you kings of Judah and citizens of Jerusalem! This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, ^{▼▼sn See the study notes on 2:19 and 7:3 for explanation of this title.} the God of Israel, has said, “Look here! I am about to bring a disaster on this place ^{▼▼sn Careful comparison of the use of this term throughout this passage and comparison with 7:31-33, which is parallel to several verses in this passage, will show that the reference is to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which will become a Valley of Slaughter (see v. 6 and 7:32).} that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it ring. ^{▼▼tn Heb “which everyone who hears it [or about it] his ears will ring.” This is proverbial for a tremendous disaster. See 1 Sam 3:11 and 2 Kgs 21:12 for similar prophecies.}
