| 19:1 | Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests; |
| 19:2 | And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee, |
| 19:3 | And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle. |
| 19:4 | Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; |
| 19:5 | They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: |
| 19:6 | Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter. |
| 19:7 | And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. |
| 19:8 | And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. |
| 19:9 | And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them. |
| 19:10 | Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee. |
| 19:11 | And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury. |
| 19:12 | Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet: |
| 19:13 | And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods. |
| 19:14 | Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house; and said to all the people, |
| 19:15 | Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words. |
| 19:1 | כה אמר יהוה הלוך וקנית בקבק יוצר חרשׂ ומזקני העם ומזקני הכהנים׃ |
| 19:2 | ויצאת אל גיא בן הנם אשׁר פתח שׁער החרסות וקראת שׁם את הדברים אשׁר אדבר אליך׃ |
| 19:3 | ואמרת שׁמעו דבר יהוה מלכי יהודה וישׁבי ירושׁלם כה אמר יהוה צבאות אלהי ישׂראל הנני מביא רעה על המקום הזה אשׁר כל שׁמעה תצלנה אזניו׃ |
| 19:4 | יען אשׁר עזבני וינכרו את המקום הזה ויקטרו בו לאלהים אחרים אשׁר לא ידעום המה ואבותיהם ומלכי יהודה ומלאו את המקום הזה דם נקים׃ |
| 19:5 | ובנו את במות הבעל לשׂרף את בניהם באשׁ עלות לבעל אשׁר לא צויתי ולא דברתי ולא עלתה על לבי׃ |
| 19:6 | לכן הנה ימים באים נאם יהוה ולא יקרא למקום הזה עוד התפת וגיא בן הנם כי אם גיא ההרגה׃ |
| 19:7 | ובקתי את עצת יהודה וירושׁלם במקום הזה והפלתים בחרב לפני איביהם וביד מבקשׁי נפשׁם ונתתי את נבלתם למאכל לעוף השׁמים ולבהמת הארץ׃ |
| 19:8 | ושׂמתי את העיר הזאת לשׁמה ולשׁרקה כל עבר עליה ישׁם וישׁרק על כל מכתה׃ |
| 19:9 | והאכלתים את בשׂר בניהם ואת בשׂר בנתיהם ואישׁ בשׂר רעהו יאכלו במצור ובמצוק אשׁר יציקו להם איביהם ומבקשׁי נפשׁם׃ |
| 19:10 | ושׁברת הבקבק לעיני האנשׁים ההלכים אותך׃ |
| 19:11 | ואמרת אליהם כה אמר יהוה צבאות ככה אשׁבר את העם הזה ואת העיר הזאת כאשׁר ישׁבר את כלי היוצר אשׁר לא יוכל להרפה עוד ובתפת יקברו מאין מקום לקבור׃ |
| 19:12 | כן אעשׂה למקום הזה נאם יהוה וליושׁביו ולתת את העיר הזאת כתפת׃ |
| 19:13 | והיו בתי ירושׁלם ובתי מלכי יהודה כמקום התפת הטמאים לכל הבתים אשׁר קטרו על גגתיהם לכל צבא השׁמים והסך נסכים לאלהים אחרים׃ |
| 19:14 | ויבא ירמיהו מהתפת אשׁר שׁלחו יהוה שׁם להנבא ויעמד בחצר בית יהוה ויאמר אל כל העם׃ |
| 19:15 | כה אמר יהוה צבאות אלהי ישׂראל הנני מבי אל העיר הזאת ועל כל עריה את כל הרעה אשׁר דברתי עליה כי הקשׁו את ערפם לבלתי שׁמוע את דברי׃ |
| 19:1 | Thus said Jehovah, `Go, and thou hast got a potter's earthen vessel, and of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests, |
| 19:2 | and thou hast gone forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, that `is' at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and hast proclaimed there the words that I speak unto thee, |
| 19:3 | and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: `Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of every one who is hearing it do tingle, |
| 19:4 | because that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make perfume in it to other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place `with' innocent blood, |
| 19:5 | and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Baal, that I commanded not, nor spake of, nor did it come up on My heart. |
| 19:6 | `Therefore, lo, days are coming -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and this place is not called any more, Tophet, and Valley of the son of Hinnom, but, Valley of slaughter. |
| 19:7 | And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcase for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, |
| 19:8 | and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, every passer by it is astonished, and doth hiss for all its plagues. |
| 19:9 | And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and each the flesh of his friend they do eat, in the siege and in the straitness with which straiten them do their enemies, and those seeking their life. |
| 19:10 | `And thou hast broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with thee, |
| 19:11 | and hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Thus do I break this people and this city, as one breaketh the potter's vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury -- without place to bury; |
| 19:12 | so I do to this place -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet; |
| 19:13 | and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, have been -- as the place of Tophet -- defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made perfume to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to other gods.' |
| 19:14 | And Jeremiah cometh in from Tophet, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he standeth in the court of the house of Jehovah, and he saith unto all the people: |
| 19:15 | `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto this city, and on all its cities, all the evil that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck -- not to hear My words!' |
