Jeremiah 19

Gen Z: Jeremiah 19

1Yo, the Lord's like, "Go grab a clay pot from the homies and the priests."

2Hit up the valley of Hinnom by the east gate and spill the tea I’m about to drop.

3Tell the kings of Judah and the peeps in Jerusalem, "Listen up! The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is about to bring some serious trouble to this spot. It's gonna make your ears tingle, no cap."

4They’ve ghosted me, turned this place into a vibe killer, and offered incense to other gods that nobody knows, not even their ancestors or the kings of Judah, plus they’ve filled this place with innocent blood.

5They built high places for Baal to roast their kids as burnt offerings, which I never told them to do or even thought about, fr.

6So, check it out, the days are coming, says the Lord, when this place won’t be called Tophet or the valley of Hinnom anymore, but the valley of slaughter.

7I’m about to wreck the plans of Judah and Jerusalem here; they’ll fall by the sword in front of their enemies, and I’ll feed their bodies to the birds and beasts.

8This city’s gonna be a total wasteland, with everyone passing by shook and hissing at all the chaos.

9They’ll munch on the flesh of their own kids and friends during the siege, 'cause their enemies are coming for them, no cap.

10Then you gotta smash the pot in front of the crew with you.

11Tell them, "The Lord of hosts says, I’m breaking this people and this city like a pot that can’t be fixed again; they’ll bury ‘em in Tophet till there’s no room left."

12This is what I’m doing to this place, says the Lord, and to the people here, making this city just like Tophet.

13The houses in Jerusalem and the kings' pads will be defiled like Tophet, 'cause they burned incense on their roofs to all the heavenly hosts and poured out drink offerings to other gods.

14Then Jeremiah bounced from Tophet where the Lord sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the Lord’s house and said to everyone,

15"The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is saying, I’m bringing all the bad vibes on this city and all its towns for all the evil I’ve called out against it, 'cause they’ve been stubborn and won’t listen to my words."

KJV: Jeremiah 19

1Thus 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;

2And 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,

3And 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.

4Because 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;

5They 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:

6Therefore, 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.

7And 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.

8And 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.

9And 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.

10Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,

11And 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.

12Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:

13And 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.

14Then 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,

15Thus 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.
