10 Then thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 and shalt say unto them, Thus hath the Lord of the hosts said: Even so will I break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s vessel that cannot be restored again; and they shall bury them in Tophet, for there shall be no other place to bury.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, and to its inhabitants and even make this city as Tophet:
13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be as the place of Tophet, defiled, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of the heaven and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
14 Then Jeremiah returned from Tophet, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord’s house and said to all the people,
15 Thus hath the Lord of the hosts, God of Israel said: Behold, I bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have spoken against her because they have hardened their necks that they might not hear my words.
