Isaiah 30:33
30:33 For the burial place is already prepared;
it has been made deep and wide for the king.
The firewood is piled high on it.
The Lord’s breath, like a stream flowing with brimstone,
will ignite it.
Jeremiah 7:31-32
7:31 They have also built places of worship
in a place called Topheth
in the Valley of Ben Hinnom so that they can sacrifice their sons and daughters by fire. That is something I never commanded them to do! Indeed, it never even entered my mind to command such a thing!
7:32 So, watch out!”
says the
Lord. “The time will soon come when people will no longer call those places Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom. But they will call that valley
the Valley of Slaughter and they will bury so many people in Topheth they will run out of room.
Jeremiah 19:6
19:6 So I, the
Lord, say:
“The time will soon come that people will no longer call this place Topheth or the Hinnom Valley. But they will call this valley
the Valley of Slaughter!
Jeremiah 19:11-13
19:11 Tell them the
Lord who rules over all says,
‘I will do just as Jeremiah has done.
I will smash this nation and this city as though it were a potter’s vessel which is broken beyond repair.
The dead will be buried here in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.’
19:12 I, the
Lord, say:
‘That is how I will deal with this city and its citizens. I will make it like Topheth.
19:13 The houses in Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be defiled by dead bodies
just like this place, Topheth. For they offered sacrifice to the stars
and poured out drink offerings to other gods on the roofs of those houses.’”
