Jeremiah 7:32
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 19:11
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.’
Jeremiah 26:9
26:9 How dare you claim the
Lord’s authority to prophesy such things! How dare you claim his authority to prophesy that this temple will become like Shiloh and that this city will become an uninhabited ruin!”
Then all the people crowded around Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 33:12
33:12 “I, the Lord who rules over all, say: ‘This place will indeed lie in ruins. There will be no people or animals in it. But there will again be in it and in its towns sheepfolds where shepherds can rest their sheep.
Jeremiah 34:22
34:22 For I, the
Lord, affirm that
I will soon give the order and bring them back to this city. They will fight against it and capture it and burn it down. I will also make the towns of Judah desolate so that there will be no one living in them.”’”
Jeremiah 44:22
44:22 Finally the
Lord could no longer endure your wicked deeds and the disgusting things you did. That is why your land has become the desolate, uninhabited ruin that it is today. That is why it has become a proverbial example used in curses.
