The Valley of Slaughter

³⁰ “‘The people of Judah have done evil^(A) in my eyes, declares the Lord. They have set up their detestable idols^(B) in the house that bears my Name and have defiled^(C) it. ³¹ They have built the high places of Topheth^(D) in the Valley of Ben Hinnom^(E) to burn their sons and daughters^(F) in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.^{(G) 32} So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter,^(H) for they will bury^(I) the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.

³⁴ They set up their vile images^(A) in the house that bears my Name^(B) and defiled^(C) it. ³⁵ They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom^(D) to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek,^(E) though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind^(F)—that they should do such a detestable^(G) thing and so make Judah sin.^(H)
