Jeremiah 19:13

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.’”
Jeremiah 32:29-32
32:29 The Babylonian soldiers
that are attacking this city will break into it and set it on fire. They will burn it down along with the houses where people have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods on their rooftops.
32:30 This will happen because the people of Israel and Judah have repeatedly done what displeases me
from their earliest history until now
and because they
have repeatedly made me angry by the things they have done.
I, the
Lord, affirm it!
32:31 This will happen because
the people of this city have aroused my anger and my wrath since the time they built it until now.
They have made me so angry that I am determined to remove
it from my sight.
32:32 I am determined to do so because the people of Israel and Judah have made me angry with all their wickedness – they, their kings, their officials, their priests, their prophets, and especially the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem
have done this wickedness.
