Jeremiah 19:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 19:4

2 And go out to ^athe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the Potsherd Gate; and proclaim there the words that I will tell you,

3 ^aand say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will bring such a catastrophe on this place, that whoever hears of it, his ears will ^btingle.

4 “Because they ^ahave forsaken Me and made this an alien place, because they have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they, their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known, and have filled this place with ^bthe blood of the innocents

5 ^a(they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, ^bwhich I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind),

6 therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that this place shall no more be called Tophet or ^athe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.

7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, ^aand I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hands of those who seek their lives; their ^bcorpses I will give as meat for the birds of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth.

8 I will make this city ^adesolate and a hissing; everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
