Jeremiah 7:32-34

New Catholic Bible

³² Therefore, beware, for the days are coming, says the Lord, when the names of Topheth and the Valley of Ben-hinnom will no longer be used. They will rather be referred to as the Valley of Slaughter. Because of a scarcity of space, Topheth will become a burial ground. ³³ The corpses of this people will serve as food for the birds of the sky and the animals of the earth, and no one will frighten them away. ³⁴ In the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem I will banish all sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bridegroom and bride, for the entire land will have become a desert.
