Isaiah 30:33
Holman Christian Standard Bible
33 Indeed! Topheth has been ready(A)
for the king for a long time now.
Its funeral pyre is deep and wide,
with plenty of fire and wood.
The breath of the Lord,(B) like a torrent of brimstone,
kindles it.
Jeremiah 7:31-32
Holman Christian Standard Bible
31 They have built the high places of Topheth[a](A) in the Valley of Hinnom[b](B) in order to burn their sons and daughters in the fire,(C) a thing I did not command; I never entertained the thought.[c]
32 “Therefore, take note! Days are coming”(D)—the Lord’s declaration—“when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.(E) Topheth will become a cemetery,[d] because there will be no other burial place.
