30 "For the sons of Judah have done evil in my sight, declares the Lord. They have set ch. 32:34;Ezek. 5:11;7:20;[ch. 19:5;2 Kgs. 21:4,7] their detestable things in the house See ver. 10that is called by my name, to ch. 32:34;Ezek. 5:11;7:20;[ch. 19:5;2 Kgs. 21:4,7] defile it. 31 And they have built the high places of 2 Kgs. 23:10Topheth, which is in [ch. 31:40;Josh. 18:16] the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, Ps. 106:38to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, Deut. 17:3;[ver. 21, 22]which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind. 32 ch. 19:6Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it will no more be called [See ver. 31above] Topheth, or [See ver. 31above] the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; ch. 19:11;[Ezek. 6:5]for they will bury in Topheth, because there is no room elsewhere. 33 ch. 12:9;16:4;19:7;34:20;Deut. 28:26;Ps. 79:2And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, [Isa. 17:2]and none will frighten them away.
