³⁰ The ·people [descendants; sons] of Judah have done ·what I said was evil [^Levil in my eyes], says the Lord. They have set up their ·hateful [loathsome; abominable] idols in the ·place where I have chosen to be worshiped [^Lhouse that is called by my name] and have made it ·unclean [defiled; ^Cin a ritual sense]. ³¹ The people of Judah have built ·places of worship [^Lhigh places; ^Csites associated with pagan worship or inappropriate worship of God; Deut. 12] at Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom [2 Kin. 23:10–11]. There they burned their own sons and daughters as sacrifices, something I never commanded. It never even entered my ·mind [^Lheart; Lev. 18:21; Deut. 12:31; 18:10]. ³² So, I warn you. The days are coming, says the Lord, when people will not call this place Topheth [^C“Spit”] or the Valley of Ben Hinnom anymore. They will call it the Valley of ·Killing [Slaughter]. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no room to bury anyone else [19:1–15].
