Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
This
is
what
the
LORD
says:
“
Go and buy
a
clay
jar
from
a potter.
Take
some
of the elders of the people and leaders
of the priests,
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,
and go
out
to
the Valley of Ben-
hinnom near
the entrance
of the Potsherd
Gate .
Proclaim
there the words I speak to
you
,
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
,
saying
, ‘
Hear the
word of the
LORD
, O
kings of Judah and residents
of Jerusalem .
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel ,
says
: I am going
to
bring
such
disaster
on this place that
the ears of all
who hear
of
it will
ring
,
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
,
because they have abandoned
Me and made
this a
foreign
place .
They
have
burned
incense
in this
place
to other gods that neither
they nor
their fathers nor
the kings of Judah have
ever
known.
They have filled this place with the
blood
of
the
innocent .
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,
They
have built high places to
Baal on
which
to burn their children
in
the
fire as
offerings to Baal —something
I never
commanded or
mentioned
, nor did it even
enter
My mind
.
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
.
So
behold
, the
days are coming ,
declares
the
LORD,
when
this place will
no
longer
be
called Topheth
or
the
Valley of Ben-
hinnom, but the
Valley of Slaughter.
`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.
And in
this
place
I will
ruin
the plans
of Judah and Jerusalem .
I
will
make
them fall by the sword before their enemies, by the hands
of those who
seek
their lives
, and I will
give
their carcasses
as
food to the birds
of the air
and the beasts
of the earth .
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 ,
I will
make
this city a desolation and an
object
of
scorn.
All
who
pass
by will
be
appalled
and will
scoff
at
all her
wounds
.
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
.
I will
make
them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will
eat one
another’s
flesh
in the siege and distress
inflicted
on
them by
their enemies who
seek
their lives
. ’
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
.
Then
you
are
to
shatter
the jar
in
the presence
of the men who accompany
you
,
`And
thou
hast
broken
the bottle
before
the eyes
of the men who are
going
with
thee
,
and you
are
to
proclaim
to
them that
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says:
I will
shatter
this nation
and this city, like
one shatters
a
potter’s
jar
that can
never
again
be repaired .
They will
bury the
dead
in
Topheth
until
there
is
no
more
room
to bury them.
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 ;
This
is
what
I will
do to this place and to its residents
, declares
the
LORD.
I
will
make this city like
Topheth.
so
I do to this place --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
and to its inhabitants
, so
as
to
make this city as
Tophet;
The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will
be
defiled
like
that
place, Topheth—
all the houses on whose rooftops
they burned
incense
to all the host of heaven
and
poured
out drink
offerings
to other gods. ”
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. '
Then
Jeremiah returned
from Topheth
, where
the
LORD
had sent him to prophesy, and he stood
in the courtyard
of the house of the
LORD
and proclaimed
to
all the people ,
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 :
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel ,
says
: ‘Behold
, I am about
to
bring
on
this city and on all the villages
around
it
every
disaster
I have pronounced
against them
, because
they have stiffened
their necks
so
as
not to heed
My words .’”
`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 !'
