3 and he made offerings in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom and ^hburned his sons as an offering,^{1 i}according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.

6 And he ^bburned his sons as an offering in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and used ^cfortune-telling and omens and ^dsorcery, and dealt with ^emediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.

31 And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, ⁱto burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, ^jwhich I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.

2 and go out to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom at the entry of the Potsherd Gate, and proclaim there the words that I tell you. 3 You shall say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. ⁱThus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such disaster upon this place that the ^jears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. 4 Because the people have forsaken me and have profaned this place by making offerings in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have known; and because they have filled this place with the blood of innocents, 5 and have built the high places of Baal ^kto burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, ^lwhich I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind— 6 ^mtherefore, behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when this place shall no more be called Topheth, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
