Jeremiah 19:11
11Tell them the Lord who rules over all says, ▼ ‘I will do just as Jeremiah has done. ▼▼ The adverb “Thus” or “Like this” normally points back to something previously mentioned. See, e.g., Exod 29:35; Num 11:15; 15:11; Deut 25:9.
I will smash this nation and this city as though it were a potter’s vessel which is broken beyond repair. ▼▼ Heb “Like this I will break this people and this city, just as one breaks the vessel of a potter which is not able to be repaired.”
The dead will be buried here in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.’ ▼▼ See Jer 7:22–23 for parallels.
