Jeremiah 19:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ Then say this: ‘The Lord All-Powerful says, I will break the nation of Judah and the city of Jerusalem, just as someone breaks a clay jar! And like a broken jar, the nation of Judah cannot be put together again. It will be the same for the nation of Judah. The dead people will be buried here in Topheth until there is no more room. ¹² I will do this to these people and to this place. I will make this city like Topheth.’ This message is from the Lord. ¹³ ‘The houses in Jerusalem will become as “dirty” as this place, Topheth. The kings’ palaces will be ruined like this place, Topheth, because the people worshiped false gods on the roofs of their houses.^[a] They worshiped the stars and burned sacrifices to honor them. They gave drink offerings to false gods.’”
