Jeremiah 19:3-9

3You shall say, aHear the word of the Lord, bO kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such disaster upon this place that cthe ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. 4 dBecause the people have forsaken me and have profaned this place by making offerings in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have known; eand because they have filled this place with the blood of innocents, 5 fand have built the high places of Baal gto burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, hwhich I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind 6therefore, ibehold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when this place shall no more be called Topheth, or jthe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7And in this place kI will make void the plans of Judah and Jerusalem, land will cause their people to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. mI will give their dead bodies for food to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the earth. 8And I will make this city na horror, oa thing to be hissed at. Everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its wounds. 9 pAnd I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and their daughters, and everyone shall eat the flesh of his neighbor qin the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies and those who seek their life afflict them.’
