19:1 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, Go 1980 8800 and get 7069 8804 a potter's 3335 8802 earthen 2789 bottle 1228, and [take] of the ancients 2205 of the people 5971, and of the ancients 2205 of the priests 3548;

19:2 And go forth 3318 8804 unto the valley 1516 of the son 1121 of Hinnom 2011, which [is] by the entry 6607 of the east 2777 gate 8179, and proclaim 7121 8804 there the words 1697 that I shall tell 1696 8762 thee,(the east…: Heb. the sun gate)

19:3 And say 559 8804, Hear 8085 8798 ye the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, O kings 4428 of Judah 3063, and inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389; Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Behold, I will bring 935 8688 evil 7451 upon this place 4725, the which whosoever heareth 8085 8802, his ears 241 shall tingle 6750 8799.

19:4 Because they have forsaken 5800 8804 me, and have estranged 5234 8762 this place 4725, and have burned incense 6999 8762 in it unto other 312 gods 430, whom neither they nor their fathers 1 have known 3045 8804, nor the kings 4428 of Judah 3063, and have filled 4390 8804 this place 4725 with the blood 1818 of innocents 5355;

19:5 They have built 1129 8804 also the high places 1116 of Baal 1168, to burn 8313 8800 their sons 1121 with fire 784 [for] burnt offerings 5930 unto Baal 1168, which I commanded 6680 8765 not, nor spake 1696 8765 [it], neither came 5927 8804 [it] into my mind 3820:

19:6 Therefore, behold, the days 3117 come 935 8802, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that this place 4725 shall no more be called 7121 8735 Tophet 8612, nor The valley 1516 of the son 1121 of Hinnom 2011, but The valley 1516 of slaughter 2028.

19:7 And I will make void 1238 8804 the counsel 6098 of Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389 in this place 4725; and I will cause them to fall 5307 8689 by the sword 2719 before 6440 their enemies 341 8802, and by the hands 3027 of them that seek 1245 8764 their lives 5315: and their carcases 5038 will I give 5414 8804 to be meat 3978 for the fowls 5775 of the heaven 8064, and for the beasts 929 of the earth 776.

19:8 And I will make 7760 8804 this city 5892 desolate 8047, and an hissing 8322; every one that passeth 5674 8802 thereby shall be astonished 8074 8799 and hiss 8319 8799 because of all the plagues 4347 thereof.

19:9 And I will cause them to eat 398 8689 the flesh 1320 of their sons 1121 and the flesh 1320 of their daughters 1323, and they shall eat 398 8799 every one 376 the flesh 1320 of his friend 7453 in the siege 4692 and straitness 4689, wherewith their enemies 341 8802, and they that seek 1245 8764 their lives 5315, shall straiten 6693 8686 them.

19:10 Then shalt thou break 7665 8804 the bottle 1228 in the sight 5869 of the men 582 that go 1980 8802 with thee,

19:11 And shalt say 559 8804 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Even so 3602 will I break 7665 8799 this people 5971 and this city 5892, as [one] breaketh 7665 8799 a potter's 3335 8802 vessel 3627, that cannot 3201 8799 be made whole again 7495 8736: and they shall bury 6912 8799 [them] in Tophet 8612, till [there be] no place 4725 to bury 6912 8800.(be made…: Heb. be healed)

19:12 Thus will I do 6213 8799 unto this place 4725, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, and to the inhabitants 3427 8802 thereof, and [even] make 5414 8800 this city 5892 as Tophet 8612:

19:13 And the houses 1004 of Jerusalem 3389, and the houses 1004 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063, shall be defiled 2931 as the place 4725 of Tophet 8612, because of all the houses 1004 upon whose roofs 1406 they have burned incense 6999 8765 unto all the host 6635 of heaven 8064, and have poured out 5258 8687 drink offerings 5262 unto other 312 gods 430.

19:14 Then came 935 8799 Jeremiah 3414 from Tophet 8612, whither the LORD 3068 had sent 7971 8804 him to prophesy 5012 8736; and he stood 5975 8799 in the court 2691 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004; and said 559 8799 to all the people 5971,

19:15 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Behold, I will bring 935 8688 upon this city 5892 and upon all her towns 5892 all the evil 7451 that I have pronounced 1696 8765 against it, because they have hardened 7185 8689 their necks 6203, that they might not hear 8085 8800 my words 1697.
