Jeremiah 19:2-6

Rotherham(i) 2 Then shalt thou go forth into the valley of Ben–hinnom, which is at the opening of the gate of potsherds; and proclaim there, the words which I shall speak unto thee; 3 and shalt say,––Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem,––Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts––God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in calamity upon this place, which shall cause the ears of, every one that heareth it, to tingle: 4 Because they have forsaken me, And have treated this as a foreign place, And have burned incense therein to other, gods, which, neither they, nor their fathers, nor the kings of Judah, have known; And have filled this place with the blood of innocents; 5 And have built the high places of Baal, for burning up their sons in the fire, as ascending–sacrifices to Baal,––Which I commanded not, Nor spake, Neither came it up on my heart, 6 Therefore, lo! days coming, Declareth Yahweh, When this place shall be called no longer, The Topheth, or, The Valley of Ben–hinnom,––but––The Valley of Slaughter;
