Jeremiah 7:30-34

The Valley of Slaughter

30For the sons of Judah have done evil in my sight, declares the Lord. They have set atheir detestable things in the house bthat is called by my name, to cdefile it. 31And they have built the high places of dTopheth, which is in ethe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, fto burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, gwhich I did not command, nor did it come into my mind. 32 hTherefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it will no more be called iTopheth, or jthe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; kfor they will bury in Topheth, because there is no room elsewhere. 33 lAnd the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, mand none will frighten them away. 34 nAnd I will silence in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, ofor the land shall become a waste.
