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."
